Thanks for all of the replies! I appreciate the advice!

Thanks for the reply! The township is making us do it...it's part of the short sale. They did an inspection and came back with a list of things for us to do, to get the CO. I am not sure about the footings, if it is random or all. The pool is an above ground (surface). Thanks again for the...

My girlfriend and I bought a house (short sale) that requires us to fix a bunch of things wrong with the house. We've had to do various things, like fixing ripped screens etc. One of which is to get a permit for the deck and pool (which already exists!) We have to show the plans and materials...

@bud16415 , thanks for the reply! Your proposal is more my speed. Do you think the pavers should be spaced or fit snuggly around the perimeter? Your point is well taken about packing things in too deep, the things in the back would be forgotten. My plan would be to create a row for each holiday...

So, while not quite level, it is smoothed out now. My gut impulse with this is to cover it with tarps and throw a bunch of plastic bins in there....but my girlfriend wants the floor to be a hard one (plywood?) I think to do that right, I need to level the space properly, build some frames and...

Radon....I need to test for that and then insulate it to keep that out, that's a really good idea. I am going to look into how to test that! Thanks for the help. Now, as far as leveling, I remove the excess to keep it a consistent height, then....smooth out or average what's left? Thanks for...

That is a really good point, toward the back the space is really cramped. I need to keep that in mind when leveling....make it the height that works to get around in the space.

Thanks for the heads up. That seems like a good idea. The crawl space seems to show signs that moisture has been an issue, although the dirt is dry and it hasn't been a problem since I've lived here (over 2 years). Any ideas on how to go about leveling? Should I remove a bunch of the dirt, or...

Hello! I am attempting to level my crawl space. It is filled with mainly dirt (also small rocks). It is sloped up toward the back. It looks as if someone started leveling it and left off. I've never leveled ground before....so I am wondering if I should just spread around what's in there...
