Water in the shop!!

[Dave Bagwill]

We actually have 2 french drains under the house; we have 3 small springs on the property so the water table is not far from the surface - the main reason the huge Poplar trees fell down a year or so ago; their roots were basically in mud.

Thanks for the input.

OH,... that is all together different from my situation here in Texas where for the past few years we've had to worry more about drought than flooding.

What if, and I am just thinking out loud here, you raise the entire structure off of the ground onto some cinder blocks? I did it with my bed in my college dorm and it made things much better for me. I never flooded, but I gained storage space. However, it would also work for flooding. Just a thought.

[Dave Bagwill]

Well.....I'll let that idea sink in.

FYI: I used 4 cinder blocks, one for each corner of the bed. I suspect you will need a couple more for an entire house though.

I said I'll let the idea 'sink' in, for cryin' out loud.

[TonyinNYC]

Let the idea flow through you? Pump some new energy into the idea? Swimming in ideas?
