WA-Hal gives alot of good advice. The only additional I have is personal experience. My family and I did our basement in '83-84. The house had a partial stonewall basement. I used a small homemade payloader. Dug a ramp to get under the house and dug out 15-25 ft distance at a time. The house was supported by about a dozen jackposts during the each dig. Then poured footings and layed concrete block in this area. Then dug another 15-25 area and repeated the process. Completed the process in two summers (sealed the open area over winter with dry laid block and viscreen). Had no cracks in the walls as a result of all the jacking during this process. The crew consisted of My wife, and three sons 8th, 5th, and 4th grade and myself. In my opinion having clay subsoil is an atvantage due to it's stability.
