Description
In cold, northern states of the US, most homeowners really don’t have much choice of what type of foundation their house will have. Most cold climate foundations are basements. That’s because of the footing, which is the lowest part of the house, right beneath the foundation, has to be placed below the frost line. If you live in a moderate or warm climate, you’ll have a choice to make. Today’s mini lesson will cover the pros and cons of the different types of foundations. It will help you decide whether a basement, crawl space or slab foundation is the best choice for your house. Show notes at www.BYHYU.com
