From Blackboard to Bedrooms: Homes Born from an Old Board School

[WJK]

That's a crazy amount of factors to consider. I'm super glad that we don't have earthquakes or volcanoes to consider - but as you say we have rain which is a killer if there is no maintenance.

Any tricks for keeping the damp out? All I know is good maintenance of gutters, good mortar, cleaned drains and solid foundation protection so far.

Water seal everything and use a wood treatment on the cut ends of all of your treated lumber. Also pay particular attention to the grade around your buildings. You can use French Drains and gutters to help move the water away. And we put gravel for drainage around everything. The more that your buildings set in moist soil, the worse your rot will be. We go through silicone caulking by the case. We build a lot of shed roofs with deep evess to keep the water and snow off of our buildings. And we use layers and layers of insulation to keep the warm interior air away from the cold exterior air. When the two meet, they create a layer of frost that melts in the spring and soaks everything -- creating a lot of rot. We do our maintenance and construction projects for the long haul. I hate to have to redo a project that we did recently.
