Wood foundations are not uncommon in the north woods. They built a wood basement house around me about 20 years ago. Thought it was crazy at the time. I think it was 18 inches thick with the wood stacked up like a wood pile and grouted in. Is this how yours is done? Just drove by the place this summer to see it up on blocks with a new concrete basement being poured. I guess this gamble did not pay off. When they back filled this thing in on the original build they pushed dirt up against it so that could be a factor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Etched or stained concrete is pretty popular around here. One of my neighbors a few doors down built a million dollar+ 5000sqft ranch home about 3 years ago. All on a heated concrete slab with about 8 zones. They deliberately placed large leaves, ferns, salmon carcass, moose tracks, wolf tracks, bear tracks, small halibut carcass, birch bark, etc. randomly through the slab surface. Not more than 1 or 2 items per room and only about 2mm deep at the most. Once cured they stained the entire slab with slightly contrasting stain in the tracks/carcass/etc. It came out incredible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s a pretty cool idea. I’ve seen some pretty neat nature type stamps out now too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I completely gutted the whole thing down to skeleton and even cut up the downstairs slab to move plumbing etc. It will have about 20k worth of closed cell foam sprayed in when this addition is done.

Guy has one here. Changed hands 5-10 times so far that I know over the years. Gutted the roof. Spray foam. Still has issues with ice. Not a house for snow country.
