Home Construction-Window Wells

It's not a problem with a well-constructed house.

How do you get out of a basement in Russia when there's a fire?

No one lives in basements in Russia except hobos. Country houses have cellars.

He seems to have multiple drainage problems. For most people a basement window is as problem free as any other window. In my current basement they are a nice source of a little natural light.

In Soviet Russia, the basement lives in you!

I live in a crypt. There's a below-ground courtyard outside and one year, with torrential rain lashing down onto the steep roof of the church, the drains were blocked and a lake started to form outside, rising steadily. It was getting perilously closer to the level of the step outside the door from the living room when I ventured out into the relentless storm, armed with a hastily-improvised tool to dig out the fetid, stinking gunk in the drains.

Having saved the flat from catastrophe, I must have good about myself for an entire day afterwards. :cloud9:
