  • 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…







  • Great questions. Honestly, I haven’t given it much though.

    What would determine whether a source is added?

    Hard question. Open to suggestions. Even if a post starts off with a click-bait-y title/source, our member typically post concrete sources and more resources in the comments. The discussions are a large part of the community and, as of now, we are not overrun with bad sources/posts. I inclined to create a plan, but not implement until we have more issues. I’d like to say the community decides, but it could lead to endless polls about sources. Thoughts?

    Frequency of reports?

    Absolutely would be one metric. So far, we get very, very, very few reports in the Space community. Mostly the reports are to remove trolls or unrelated content.

    Moderator discretion?

    It would probably start here. Not sure I’m comfortable making those decisions, but this is likely the reality until we have more discussions and decide on a path forward.

    Community vote?

    This would be pretty great…just not sure how to go about it. I guess we could sticky a vote post for a few weeks or something.

    Could a source ever be removed from the list if its quality improves?

    We would have to have a mechanism for this. Times change. So do journals/magazines/periodicals.

    I believe that Otter is correct, there is no way to restrict domains on a community level. So this would be managed by the mods supported by reports from the community.











  • 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?
