We built new in 2001 and pre treated the back highwall (house is built into a hillside,) under the slab and around the foundation. Clean pea gravel is in the fill under the slab and contains the thermal tubes for the heated floor.

The builder said this would be an invitation to critters so the area was thoroughly bombed with insecticide. A pair of 4 inch pvc pipes carry rain water from the back hillside around the house, exiting on the other side of the front driveway.

Good design. This small place was built in the 90s. I bought it to use when I was building at the Fort. We still come down here a lot.
