[quote=Anonymous]What I would never do again is a crawlspace. We have a rambler with full basement, plus an addition on a crawlspace. The basement gives us some trouble in terms of humidity, but at least you can get in there and install a dehumidifier. The crawlspace is the worst of two worlds. Musty, bugs, no ventilation, inaccessible to fix anything. You don't get any of the benefits of storage or easy access to utilities for the floors above. The room above the crawlspace is much colder than others, even though the floor is insulated. And when the HVAC blows, I get whiffs of the icky crawlspace air. I would ideally stay on a slab, but around here that's really rare and will limit your choice. A basement can be a problem, but at least you can reach it, and you can remedy many things with dehumidifiers and better insulation. [/quote]
