Wer’e on the top of the hill and the foundation is pier and beam, off the ground - we’re gucci!
Comment on We really need to bring back the 70s conversation pits
AcidiclyBasicGlitch@sh.itjust.works 16 hours agoI feel like I remember somebody saying they tend to cause flooding or water damage? Like I guess the foundation can separate and water seeps in? I could be completely misremembering that though.

We used to put indoor koi ponds in houses too.
From the pit standpoint, you could excavate the whole thing, put a sump in then build it two-level.
There’s always a way, it’s just not usually cheap.
