Basement reno

Oliver from Hillcrest

Hello neighbours, im reaching out in the hopes someone much more knowledgeable can point me in the right direction!

I'd like to turn my basement into some sort of a hobby room/workshop area. Rather annoyingly though there is what i can only guess is some sort of reinforcing in the form of soil.

First of all i would like to know if it's possible to remove the soil and in it's place replace it with some sort of concrete reinforcing.
Secondly, if that is even possible what sort of work would be required? Is it a matter of concrete reinforcing in the form of spray-on concrete or would it be steel rods with concrete etc.

Thank you :)

2025: The Year of Puzzling It Out!

Riddler from The Neighbourly Riddler

There’s a one-story house where everything is yellow.

The walls are yellow, the doors are yellow, and even the furniture is yellow.

What colour are the stairs?
