<<Humidity makes work and breathing harder than anything else that comes to mind. >> That's the truth, almost like drowning. Add in some pollen and it's gasp time. <<So in the clay, we slope the surface out and down from the bldg at the very base of the footing concrete, coat it with the Bentonite, and then lay the slotted drain in there.>> ?? I would think you would want to start the slope at the top instead of the bottom. Does this building have a basement? <<The best stud-finder at any cost is a cow magnet in a section of surgical tube. >> The one I use picks up the density of the wood and doesn't need to find a nail.

A few years ago I helped a bachelor friend transport and then install a whole bunch of that 3-inch thick superfoam insulation onto the inside of a spare bedroom (recent house purchase). He had 1500 bottles of wine - some of it serious beverage, my friends - and was building a wine cellar. Room size. So we needed to find the studs in the wall - and bought one of those magnetic Stud Finder dingies. In the checkout line, we waved it over each other. It didn't twitch. Noooo, no studs here, sorry.
