We have a cabin in the woods, the place has no power, we bring a generator to have lights and fans when we are there 1-2 weekends a month. (Getting power is not an option) it was built on a crawl space that is incredibly damp. I noticed the mold smell when we first looked at the place, the previous owners said we had a lifetime warranty on the mold removal, which it turns out is untrue, because the problem, no moisture barrier, was never addressed. The current issue is the wood beams are rotting and cracking. We have been brainstorming and the only seemingly logical way to attack the problem is to fill the crawl space with 4 feet of gravel and 1 foot cement. We would have to cut out the floor and install supports for the stairs and 2 walls, so we could fill it directly in. Is this crazy? Is there a better way?
Any help would be appreciated!
