AIUI, the deep space foundation are to be found in the northern states were the frost reaches down four feet odd. Having gone down four feet it doesn't cost much more to go up an extra two /three feet and; voila - a basement. In the southern states there isn't such a concern about frost ! but; ask a new Orleanian about their basements. -- Brian |

The message
from John White contains these words: Sickening isn't it. I think that shed is bigger than my flat - and it has air conditioning. That thing on the ceiling? That's an electrostatic dust collector. Very useful if you're doing finish work in the same place you're creating sawdust. Good for your lungs, too. -- Skipweasel Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain. |

You may well be right wrt the US. I heard on the radio this AM that 90% of people in the UK live in a city, so almost the exact opposite (if true). Z. |
