Half the complex is sliding down the hill at a couple inches a year? 

Broke college club tall and proud haha.

As well as 14 inches in the roof to create an airtight thermal envelope.

Splitting these mountains, thousands of commuters made their daily southerly decent into the city along “The 51” highway, creating a slow inch worm like progressive movement of metal.

Not one square inch has gone untouched.  

It's a tall order but doable with a determined mind.

Get about another 9 inches of space.1New- China makes these things so cheap and the trade is so lopsided, China to US and not back, that a lot of containers are sold as 1 trip to the US. 

Brush up on building code requirements: in basements you're looking for egress windows that are 5.7 sq feet or more openable (3ft by 3ft casement style windows work best), and ceiling heights 6ft 8 inches or greater (as little as 6 ft 4 inches is ok under ductwork and beams though)Sounds like your basement would be a home-run to generate some extra rental income - Happy to talk through the details of that strategy with you, just shoot me a DM!
