Bajaha posted:Right now it's pretty good, even with the recent heavy rains our lot does not have much standing water. The only spot that accumulates some is between the lowest grove of trees and the river bank, where we have the tyndal stone and blocks stacked up, there's a slight depression in the land there and water does accumulate. Otherwise the natural grade of the property lends itself well to shedding water. If I was in Manitoba instead of Ontario, that could have been me that drilled those holes. I've drilled at more houses, or future houses than I can count. And peed in some of the finest backyards in the province of Ontario.

You should see if they will throw in 2 extra piles, just so you can say your house has 69 piles.

Boulders can be pretty bad for drilling tools. Ask me how I know. Has Manitoba not discovered hard hats yet?

I can't speak for the governments specifically, but in Onterrible, anything like that is considered a construction site and thus boots, hivis and hardhat mandatory regardless of overheads.. I had ministry of labour show up and give my helper poo poo for no hard hat when we were finished, tower on my drill was down and 100 ft away from where he was filling in the hole that I had just finished drilling. Meanwhile he never said anything to the kids that were running around the jungle gym that we had just been drilling beside. Did they suggest helical piers for the foundation? Just curious is all. They're pretty common for residential stuff here

I don't know about the vast waste lands of Manitoba where I'm pretty sure the OP is from, but in Ontario, locates are mandatory regardless of how well things are mapped out by the owner. That being said, putting in tracer wires for plastic pipes now, mapping, photographing and measuring would all be very helpful in the event that locates need to be done in the future. In this case, the OP would likely have various private utilities that can be mapped for future reference.

Once they get it all closed up, do they run fans/heaters or dehumidifiers to get rid of the excess moisture? I"ve always heard that when you're building a house, or whatever other wooden structure that a few soakings of rain, or snow/melt aren't *that* bad as the wood is (supposed to be) pressure treated and all that, so unless its open to the elements for months and months of rain etc then ts not a huge issue. But thats just what I hear, no idea if its true.

Got ya. I forgot that was another way to do Geothermal. Most of what I've had to deal with (very little TBH) was closed loop.

Theres a surprising lack of insulation on those stairs. You should consider that.
