The reason I don't think its a leaking crack in the foundation wall is because it is still winter here - there has been no melt to speak of yet. So i'm not sure where the water would be coming from. My sump has not run since October last year - everything is still frozen.

I live in the same area and this year was really cold. In my 8 year old house I had some frost on the portion of the basement wall above ground. Not much but it it warms up fast it can look like a leak (mu poly is sealed and the rim joist speayed foam so there should be no moisture getting in)...

Thanks for all your replies. I will not be driving on it but rather moving the trailers by hand to the spot. So ruts should not be an issue. I will put down some good landscaping cloth to keep the weeds out and the gravel from sinking into the ground.

I have 3 utility trailers (4x4, 4x6, 4x8) and a canoe to store in my yard (yard is 75' x 180' fenced). I have decided to store therm on the south side between my house and neighbour. Right now its sod but with all the rain this year its been under water and the grass has died. I am planning on...

I have these mounted above my 2 workbenches. They have 2 - 150 watt halogen bulbs and throw off great light. They do throw a little heat- just enough to notice but well worth it. I bought them for $20 each. Even my builder wanted to know where I got them for his workshop.

I say look at the Forester or CRV. I have an older Forester that has been great to me. My wife has a 99 CRV and never had a problem with hit. Unless you live in the snowbelt, AWD is not a requirement but it helps in the rain or anytime traction is required. You do not even notice it. Subaru's...

I can't agree more. I look forward to my cross border trips to hit Menards in Grand Forks and Fargo. And don't get me started on Sears! Their tool section is pretty much non-existant outside of garage door openers, shop vacs, and cordless drills! And I have to check out in the electronics...

My brother-in-law built an "office" on a concrete slab with pex tubing for heat. Not a problem all winter. He runs a mixture of water/anti-freeze thru the pipes so the water can't freeze. Its heated by a small boiler.
