- making an opening through said concrete flooring to gain access to the earth below the building;
- excavating a well in the earth through said opening in the concrete flooring;
- introducing through said opening in said flooring a plurality of prefabricated storage bin elements which when assembled form an envelope comprising said storage area, and
- assembling said prefabricated elements within said well to form said envelope conforming to the shape of said well.
A device in the construction of a cellar, or storage area, underneath an already existing building having a foundation comprising concrete flooring, on which the building rests on the ground and wherein an opening has been made in said concrete flooring and earth below said foundation has been excavated to form a well, comprising a plurality of similar prefabricated storage bin elements which can be introduced into the well through said opening and when assembled in superposed and juxtaposed relationship comprise an envelope conforming to the interior of said well.
