The cause of my problems. Cracked copper pipe in the basement, just below the kitchen sink.

My first trip on a barge, was only like a 10 min ride to the island, yep, that's my escort on a golf cart trail. Not a whole lot of room to get by lol. Was a interesting climb back out of the hole.

Not to sure why it shows so many doubles but can someone fix that for me please?
A old rotting cabin.
my wife said we have 5 levels of flooring. I guess she is right, again, lol
Filled with water and froze?
No, the house never has frozen while we had it, and the basement was redone about 3 or so years ago, so this is recent.
Just missed a roof being lowered onto a cabin.
I deleted the duplicates for you.
Thank you
Another customer who is putting in a basement.
Doing it the hard way...
Those are awesome!!!
We really need both of those down here in 'Hurricane/Floodville'!
Why is that? What would be a easier way?

I sure wouldn't want to be working under that.
Dig/build the basement first then build the house over the basement?
Yep! LazyL has it right. Build the basement first, it is the foundation for your home.
Any one know what this is? I'm not sure but I think its a very fancy solar panel, any ideas?
Ok, I get that, but a lot of cabins were built 50+ years ago and were not built with basements and the new owners wants one I guess. Lol

Looked it up, that's a Smartflower 2.5KW solar panel setup ~$27,000. The panels fold and unfold based on the weather and can swivel in several directions to track the sun... Some can hold batteries and the inverter in the base… Cool, but seems very complicated, lots of stuff to go wrong…
Ok thanks, I will look it up, I was not sure what it was.
At over $10 per watt that is very expensive technology. It is also old tech, the modern "sunflower" systems incorporate lenses and newer tech to accomplish the same level of performans at a reduced cost. I have been watching this particular tech (from Japan) for some time and watched the changes.
BTW - They also produce "sunflower" systems for indoor lighting. It gathers sunlight, through lenses that feed into a fiber optic cable. You can run it into any room in your house and have true daylight in every room. No skylights needed. That is impressive.
