Frequently asked questions
The butte behind us sheds all winter. Is that a storm problem or a season problem?
A season problem. The slope delivers water to the uphill crawl wall through the entire wet season rather than in single events, so there is no storm to point at and no interval to dry out in. It is continuous rather than episodic.
Vents were supposed to dry the crawl. They ice up in December.
They are importing the Gorge. Outdoor air from November through March is near saturation, and the wind just pushes more of it through. Closing or conditioning the crawl in this season is the approach that matches the air that is actually out there.
We are on the Butte, not the Sandy. Out of the river?
Out of the channel, not out of December. A Butte lot is a steep catchment for the house below, and the whole wet season runs along the uphill wall. Elevation trades a river problem for a shedding and a wind-driven-rain problem.
