I have a home build in 1872. Part of the basement has a dirt floor (31'X14').
The basement had 10ft high ceiling. Perimeter foundation walls is masonry and the interior walls are brick. The basement has had issues with moisture, but I think that the culprit is the lack of roof gutters. I will be either adding gutters or a french drain. My problem, I would like to pour concrete and turn the dirt floor area into a wood-shop. So the floor will need to withstand some heavy equipment. My question, how do I pour against the brick and the masonry? If I need forms. what type do I need to build.
Thanks
