My home when I was in Indiana was 1/2 of the way underground with cement blocks… It was great in the summer but the drainage was not the best, In the spring time water would seep thru the block into the home and we would wake up with 1/2 inch of water on the floor. We ran dehumidifiers all the time.

I have been looking at building a pit garden, also called a Walipini…. I was thinking of building it with a berm, so that I could go there in hurricanes…

This was another reason I was burring my 55 gal barrel, to see what the temps underground are…
