[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The space will be harder to heat and cool if built on piers. In the winter you may risk pipes freezing. [/quote] Read this article: https://www.buildingscience.com/documents/insights/bsi-009-new-light-in-crawlspaces Almost no one knows how to insulate a crawl space properly, they usually end up as a moldy mess. [/quote] This most contractors don’t know how to insulate at all, let alone properly do a crawl space. We just built a house in a humid climate and the methods that subs wanted to use were laughable. Then when you would point out them what they were neglecting to address, they were shocked. So it wasn’t like they were trying to get away with shortcuts, they genuinely had no idea.[/quote]
