    sump pump + dehumidifier + waterproof room design to prevent h&m for underground g.r?

    should I still put gravel at the bottom with the pit and the sump? How would I lay the walls on a uneven floor like this? I would make a 3 sided wall outline that I could press against the wall, put in rebarb, then fill with concrete and move to the next wall. (Concrete won't become attached...

    I thought you saI'd that the input fan would go right in the floor to create pressure on the water, and all I would need to bury to the greenhouse would be the exaust?

    All the thanks goes to you your awesome. I want to bury it at least 3ft just for personal safety satisfaction. The way its set up I can leave for a week at a time. Plus the digging it up and filling back ins a good workout its only around 18-27cf of dirt to move. I like the mini campsite idea...

    sump pump + dehumidifier + waterproof room design to prevent h&m for underground g.r?

    Oh and about the exaust...my new location (to be able to accomedate for the sloping) is a good bit farther back in the woods a greenhouse would look way out of place there. The greenhouse idea was when it was right on the othrr side of my fence and itlooked normal So I still might just...

    And you said earlier the intake needs to be just left open no fan and the carbon flitered exaust has the output fan on it right? As for dog/entry...So if I build the room with a pretty well sealed trap door. Door will be heavy and will swing upwords, so there is pressure on its connection...

    Oh and what size motor am I looking for In the sump pump? And as for the intake air hole, the thicker the pvc pipe diameter the better? And since I'm 6ft under...should I even bother with leds (wanted for there no ir no heat aspect) or just go with hps/mh?

    Can do. Now how can I go about making a elevated enrty "tunnel" that would be at least 3x3? Do they make manholes that big? If so how to attach it with a tube down to around the trapdoor?

    Well these are roots from trees that I'm cutting all down so they'll be nothing to grow back. No trees within like 10ft of the slope and they are all small trees.

    I would like to do this but I think itll be unnessesary its not rocky. There are mad roots tho but like 3in thick at most and I'm pretty sure excavator will break thru them like toothpicks.

    Yeah I don't think I'm going thru that I am in the woods but I'm 150yds from houses. Including mine. I think a week with just the excavator should be enough to tear thru all the roots and stumps to get the hole dug. As for the manhole idea...I want the actual door to be at least 3x4ft in case...

    sump pump + dehumidifier + waterproof room design to prevent h&m for underground g.r?

    Should this be done on the 4 corners of the sloping or of the 12x14 hole I'm digging? How far down would you recommend I placed the charges? Would this even be worth it if I had a excavator that could dig it no prob?

    sump pump + dehumidifier + waterproof room design to prevent h&m for underground g.r?

    So basically with the manhole system its dog proof besides within a few hours after an entry? I can definately live with that. I'm keeping this on the low with ppl and its not really that large + its past 3 feet of soil to avoid ir, so I don't think I should have leo issues with dogs anyway its...

    sump pump + dehumidifier + waterproof room design to prevent h&m for underground g.r?

    As far the dug out dirt ill pile it up big. Since i have it a week that should be enough time to dig it out then build the dwelling (have everything pre built as mucb as possible for times sake) then once its done ill fill back in with the dirt. So really ill only have the dirt the size of the...

    Well the surveyor is out of the question, and I am going to do the standard angle of repose, but the soil is very thick and damp and holds together well...typically would that call for a bigger or small A.o.r.? (Depth will be be ~14ft btw, so ill have to expand on ur estimation a tad) I went...

    I don't understand how I am going to shore this and build everything around that. I think I'm going to have to go with sloping

    sump pump + dehumidifier + waterproof room design to prevent h&m for underground g.r?

    Thanks for that I will definately check it out. The original plan was to shore the walls andthen build the dwelling inside of the shored up then once finished remove the shoring and let it fill in. Also planned on putting pressure on the walls with the excav to compress them and have them...
