Keystone State Thread

I'd be shocked if it averaged 14" from the joists to the dirt "floor" of it. I doubt any human could crawl through that space. The only real space under the house is the basement - from which folks slid water lines to various points - all of which are outside or along the footprint of the original house. Even the basement was added after the house was built, it looks like. Building on this house started probably 1880-90 and finished just after 1900.

 

I'm going to arguing there is no crawl space. The regulation does not say the void area under is a crawl space BECAUSE of the mechanical systems (the water/heat lines, etc). It says "a void area under a house is not considered a crawl space "particularly" if there are no systems present." It doesn't say that a void area is officially a crawl space 'Only' or 'when' there are systems present. I contend we vent that area and show that it is free of moisture, which would make that void 'acceptable'.

 

Good catch. Agree. All about classification and definitions.

 

Stop looking David lol. Side job got postponed! Now driving in traffic on 51S. Not happy

 

FFS that is not an "easy" list... Going to require a good bit of tools, labour, and money

Yea, I'm not gonna complain about the chipped paint I had to scrape off, prime, and paint I had to do to get my loan...

 

I think the list is easy except for the whole "We don't even HAVE a crawlspace". Paint repairs - 4hrs tops. Scrape what is peeling, repaint the wood, leave the concrete. Plywood-up the silos. Remove the stairs to the corn crib; cut out and replace corn crib entry. 2 hrs. I think it'll be okay. Plus, you volunteered...

 

Now wait a damn minute!
