I used foam on the peak of my garoge roof.it might be a little too restictive in the rainy season,nylon mesh or screen would have been better for rainy season.Too let the attic all breath better.IT seemed a little dense up there this year.i put the seat or couch foam in from the inside of the attic.
I have decided to put 12" concrete posts down 5’, 3 on each side and run a 5"x10" beam to each set of posts. I will raise the cabin up and set the beams on the posts. This will keep the frost from heaving the cabin this winter.
The well guys showed up this AM and we’re pretty excited to have water!

This is how I was managing my water after getting it from the neighbors.

Drill, baby, drill! All the comforts of home. The concrete piers are an excellent idea.

I would be okay with the oil other than the government having mineral rights.
Today they finally got past the granite about 330’ and then into some softer rock and drilled to 360’. Still no water. It sounds as if no water is in the shaft tomorrow morning, they will try hydrofracking.

So, that water witching job came with a money back guarantee, right…?

They drilled down to 409’ today and the well only produces 1 gallon of water per hour. The well shaft is completely through rock. On to hydrofracking.
wowzers… Thought the table would have been a lot higher then that considering you are close to the big lake… What kind of bedrock are they hitting? That is a damn deep well… Most around here are arround 90-135ft. Deepest I have ever seen was 305ft.

It is solid rock past about 20-30’. They are hoping to find the water coming through the cracks in the rocks.
