I looked into this for my tank room a while back (that has no window at all). I can't remember who all I talked to but most concrete coring companies I talked to were able to do it no problem. I seem to recall it would have cost about $750 for what I wanted done and assuming I'd do all the prep work (ie., dig a big hole) myself.

Yeah I recall you saying that Tony. I'm hoping I can get it done cheaper but we'll see. Think you and your glass bit wanna put in some serious OT?

Cutting a concrete wall gets really messy. They use a concrete saw with water cooling. The saw needs to be bolted to the wall for the process.
Do you have a finished basement?

No it's unfinished. I'd seal the inner area with poly before they started too.
