In today’s video, I’m tackling a problem I should have fixed the first time around. Many of you warned me in the comments that my initial drainage solution at the cabin wouldn’t work—and you were right. The crawl space is flooded, and I’m back to find a lasting fix. We’ll revisit the drainage setup, use tools like a grade laser and excavator, and carefully plan a new system to reroute water away from the foundation. Will this new approach finally solve the issue, or am I destined to deal with this problem forever? Watch as I dig deep (literally) and try to get it right this time. ?
