Mars declared unsafe for humans to live as no one can survive for longer than four years
  • I'm torn. On one hand, I'm fine with removing poor sources as there is so much garbage on the internet it's good to keep it from invading all spaces. On the other hand, there's some good discussion here...but it could be mainly about how garbage the article is...

    Overall, there have been very few reports for poor sources/spam/fake articles. So report it and we'll start removing it. This means we should probably compile a "deny list" for inappropriate sources.

  • Foundation advice
  • 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.

  • Foundation advice
  • Well...except to meet code for wood foundation you must use treated wood (usually treated with some kind of copper arsenic) which is not great for the environment (both the production and usage).

  • Foundation advice
  • 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?

  • Foundation advice
  • The red is fully concrete. That part of the house was an addition.

    The black part is entirely a wood foundation. It's the stupidest thing.

    Edit: just realized what you were commenting. The image is a top down of the house perimeter.

    Foundation advice

    Red is a concrete foundation. Black is rotting wood foundation that needs to be replaced.

    Foundation issues suck. House has foundation issues. Most of the foundation will need to be replaced. Part of the house currently has a wood foundation which is rotting. There is an addition which has a concrete foundation. (See image above).

    I know that the wood foundation can be replaced with a pier and post foundation. They can stabilize the house, dig and pour piers, then use metal posts to brace the house at the right height.

    Is a pier and post foundation the only option? Is there a way to do a concrete foundation?

    Edit: The image is a top down look at the perimeter of the house. The red part is a ~600 sqft addition. The black part is the main house.

    The System76 team is so cool

    Saw this new community from the landing page as a trending community. Just wanted to drop in and say that I had the great opportunity to chat with these guys as a supplier. The relationship didn't work out in the end, but these guys are just so cool and dedicated to making awesome products.

    I know that my next system will be a system76 system.

    Keep up the great work guys!
