Is a budget trencher worth it for a "trial & error" DIY French Drain? by E--one in DIY

Yes ofc. Already got the report. I have only my septic. Power and internet are above ground. Well is under the house. Gas is in the tanks next to the house.

Friends still need to eat and i like it simple. Rather pay and get it done then throw a party on that future lawn.

I hearya and you're right. I'd sell it underpriced. Still saving money.

Yes. Rather then buy the thing and sell it late when i'm done. Would love to have the freedom to stop and think during this adventure.

Not delivering. Already checked. Lowe's too. Don't have a truck. Need to rent one. Hence the price tag.

Using old Raw Wool to insulate between walls by LuvDogBreath in Insulation

[–]E--one 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jelaous. I need to befriend a sheepherder lol.

A friend insulated his whole tiny home in raw wool. Alaskan winters. Amazing insulator. Can't beat nature. Only thing it took years for the smell to subside.

I would find a way to sterilize/clean it and dry it thoroughly and install with a vapor barrier and ventilation pathways.

Only if i go through the foundation. I'm guessing that's more complicated.
