[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a friend that lives in Texas, and it gets so hot and dry that her and her neighbors have to water their house. Hose down their entire actual house. I had never heard of such a thing til she moved there. I’m too old to deal with that kind of heat.[/quote] It is hot in Texas in the summer, but the watering the house thing is not because of heat, per se. It’s because of the soil conditions — in some places, the soil expands and contracts with moisture (or lack thereof). Most houses there are built on slabs, and too much movement can crack the foundation. So some people (by no means all) need to water their foundation to prevent cracking in the summer when the soil dries out. [/quote]
