I have a 1960's double brick house with brick piers under the house. And the house is on a gently slopping piece of land. At the back the house is almost 1 storey higher than ground level. So I thought it's a good idea to dig out a bit of dirt under the house and I can make a store room out of it.
As I was digging I notice there is a thin layer of white powder (lime???) a few inches under the loose dirt. I did a bit of google and couldn't find any thing useful. What is this white powder layer for? Is there any harm in digging it out?
Can anyone give me some idea on this one please?
Many thanks.
