Catching Up: Staking The Foundation

Now that we've got a well, the builder has the footings staked. When this is done, verified and ready, they can start digging the footings. This leads to the foundation; ours will be a crawlspace. Now we get to talk about one of our first Green choices. We are considering a sealed crawlspace. This allows us to keep moisture out of the crawlspace, but it does more than that. It creates another energy loss barrier and keeps the ducting under the house from losing energy as well.
