This really doens't have anything at all to do with excevation.
The government does give away free money. It usually requires alot of upfront paper work in terms of applications and so forth but it is 100% real.
In our industry, the government does give away lots of money for the development of rural agricultural areas. However that money goes to developers who put up subdivisions, not one house at a time.
They also spend billions on over seas development. I know because I am on a mailing list and ever new federal grant that is relased is goes on this official mailing list provided by Uncle Sam.
Federal grants are not the only form of grants. In the city of chicago, at the beginning of the year, the mayor set aside some funds for garden roofing. He was giving up to $5000 per household away towards the expense of a garden roof. A garden roof can cost about $10,00 for 1000 square feet plus the cost of the roofing so somewheres around $20,000 for the entir project, but if you want a garden roof that $5,000 surely helped.
The government is also paying a portion of the price if home owners remodel with energy star rated appliances and materials... for example some window manufacturers have energy star ratings, and the government will pay for something like half the cost of the window (material only).
There is alot of free money out there if you know where to look!
