Hello,

I'm trying to understand what's required for cutting in an exterior door to the basement of my home.

The basement is what I would call semi walkout. The dirt on the end of the house is only about 3 feet from the concrete to the top of the dirt, so I wouldn't be digging down far.

I want to understand what it would entail, including requirements for load supports etc.

Any wisdom would be appreciated, I understand specifics will change.
