    Yeah. Hand watering takes so so long. I’m really trying to reduce the amount of hand water required this year. I’m looking to do drip tubing and drip micro tubing, but still researching my options. I’ve been asking everyone I know. Most people use a bit of everything (hand watering, sprinklers, drip/soaker hose, etc.)

    What’s your watering situation? You’ve posted so many lovely raised beds and potted plants all across your property. Are you using soaker hose everywhere or is it some type of drip tubing? I’m about to redo our water and just looking at options. Right now I’m leaning towards drip tubing…










  • The house is not occupied and there is access to the crawlspace.

    My main concern is that I’m not sure a concrete foundation can be built underneath the house. Since it has the addition which a concrete foundation, the house cannot be lifted. The weight bearing concrete would have to be built upto the level of the house…which I’m not sure is possible.

    A basement would be amazing.




  • I’m sure I need to add way more info…just not sure what’s relevant.

    Crawlspace. There are piers…but they appear to be wood. Wood piers in the ground, connect to wood posts/beams above ground. As expected the wood has started to rot and the whole wood foundation needs to be replaced.

    This is in the PNW and earthquakes are possible, thus my preference for a concrete foundation(rather not get into the debate about how house would be effected from earthquake).

    This is not a foundation repair situation…this is a foundation replacement situation.

    What else can I tell you?
