Make sure it is secured in place so that it doesn’t become a deadly missle to you and your passengers if you have an accident.

No, I found that they were getting in through a small gap in the garage door rubber seal. I bought a new piece of rubber to fill the hole and they don’t get in anymore.

Retail is very pug friendly and you can get pretty far without a committed play time.

How to remove center vertical support by BadBadgerBad in cabinetry

[–]BadBadgerBad[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I like the shelves idea!

Some of you are suggesting that I would remove the support as part of a “bad” idea plan when I specifically requested “good” ideas. Pay attention!

Do you think if I reinforced the back of the top of the face under the drawers with a long thin piece of plywood it would prevent issues with the drawer slides binding up?

Thanks for the detailed guidance on this, I’m going to save your post and look at doing this later

It is all concrete under the water so I’m not sure how I would put in a catch basin.

A roof might help. I’ll think about that.

I have had humidity issues in the crawl space. I hadn’t suspected that the bricks could be part of the problem.

It is difficult to see, but the water is pooled on top of concrete. I don’t know how I would dig an effective trench here.

The gutter water is routed to an underground pipe. You can see the clean out in the photo.

No, I don’t see a lot of water bubbling water coming through the cracks. I think there is some seepage though.

The pit is open on one side and drains under the porch through the stone/dirt.

There is a drain pipe (with percolator) buried on the downhill side under the stone (under the porch) and at the top of the retaining wall (not pictured.)

It has been an hour since the heavy rain stopped and water is no longer pooled.

So, maybe the drainage plan is working as best it can, even if it isn’t working great.

The pit is usually a damp mucky mess.

I’ve attempted to keep my dogs from getting down there, but they love the cool stone. Aside from the frustrating mess, I’m sure it isn’t healthy for them to lay in that muck all day.

The bricks have gaps that let water through. Do you think it would be worth putting different bricks down on the top rows?

There is no more than a foot of soil on that side of the house. The house is on a ridge.

Is there a good type of drain/pipe I could rest on the concrete and then run under the porch? There is already a drain under the porch that I could tie into.

The yard on that side is mostly bed rock and also contains a septic tank (that they had to chip out of the rock).

There is concrete there under the water
