And I do mean CRAWL.
It is on uneven ground - and to get from one side to the other, one must dig a path - obviously, no one has never done this before.
After seeing some of the "handiwork", I moved all of the water pipes inside the house.
I wanted a bathtub as the house only had a shower - just a cheap stall.
So, I put a RAISED bathtub in the sunroom - at first just because I wanted it at window level to be able to enjoy nature's view when I soaked.
An unplanned bonus - the water trap is INSIDE the house, not under it so no worries of freezing.
I closed off and heated a small area underneath where the intake from the well, and the trap for the shower are. I have an inside switch for the under the house heater, and a remote thermometer to monitor the under the house temperature so I can shut off the heater when not needed, or effect repairs if the heater fails, which the thermometer will advise me of.
Thermometer is mounted right in front of the toilet - so it gets checked numerous times a day without me having to remember to do so.
A nicer shower stall (raised) is planned for this summer, water trap to be inside the house so I can reduce the space needing heat, and save on future hydro costs.
Yep - an old house "owns" ya ( so does a new one if you have a mortgage) - but seeing as I am retired, home is paid for, and handy with all sorts of trades - not a biggee.
I will not die of boredom.
