Probably de-valued the house by 200k on that move. |

Cute, I guess, but like most owner-built homes, it is hard to tell what is behind the pretty veneer. I'd wanna see engineering drawings and/or a good photo record of the build process before I let people use that subterranean space, especially in a disaster. And they say 'below sea level' like that is a GOOD thing? Pumps always fail, walls always leak, the only question is when. The concrete may be '5-bag-mix', but what about the rebar, and how were the pours tied together? The place may be as solid as a missile silo, which seems to be the look they were going for, but it may also be as fragile as a movie set. There will be quakes in the pacific Northwest again, someday.... aem sends... |

If they went to that much trouble, they probably put in some kind of system where rainwater fed their cistern/reservoir. That's what I'd do. Jo Anne |
