In the '60s my father, a builder,bought a house with a similar gap between= the adjacent properties. The basement was damp and uninhabitable. He cut o= ut and replaced an entire course of bricks in segments, inserting a slate d= amp proof layer. Apparently,he got lots of dead cats out of the gap between= the houses.
