We just moved into our new home a month ago. When we were talking with the contractor he suggested a raised slab. It is 3 blocks high with the dirt backfilled and then the slab is poured. We are very pleased.

Re: Ask DS: Conventional vs Slab Foundation
We are currently looking to build and our contractor was against conventional but mentioned a raised slab to get that lifted look. That is probably the route we will go.

Re: Boat registration?
I had a game warden come Tuesday to inspect my old Jon boat that had no serial number. He told me to send in the info he gave me and a bill of sale, but since I didn't have a bill of sale, I typed up an affidavit of facts and had it notarized.
So yes, the way he talked, a bill of sale would work.

Re: My duck hole question
Alot of the water has gone down, but it still 4-8" deep in most places. Some millet has laid over but the majority of it is looking pretty good. Glad yours is looking good AL, if all else fails at mine, we can get some geese out of it.
