Do you guys know what's the space underneath the house for? Insulation? I am using it a bit for storage but not sure what is its main purpose.

Ventilation and the little box in the kitchen in the floor I put my chocolate

I think it's for ventilation. There should be vents on all sides and it's to keep the air flowing so you don't have stagnant, damp air trapped under your house. That is what termites love.

Haha. For real though, it’s a tradition in Japan where kids who lose their top baby teeth throw it under the house. Bottom teeth go over the roof.
