I completely removed the 2 foundation fans in the grage and then turned the fans on under the house. The water has gone down but the soil is very wet. Jason from Crawl Tech came as expected at 3:30 today. He and his company are very impressive. He looked under the house and also under the greenhouse crawl space. The greenhouse crawl has standing water in it. He also said that he can not encapsulate the crawl space with the current furnace since it gets it's combustion air from the crawl space. We need a furnace that uses outside air or we need to supply make up combustion air. He called the injection of outside air "fan in a can". It looks like it will be $3500 to waterproof the crawlspace and over $7,000 to encapsulate. He is supposed to send a written quote tomorrow and can start at the end of May. In the meantime I found a device called an In-Forcer which is a blower fan and a box that takes in outside air through a PVC Pipe and shoots it out a 6 inch duct into the crawl space. I'm going to use conditioned air as make up air. Today I put together another Huzzah and rewired the crawl space controller to correctly use 5 volts into the regulator instead of the miswire on the one that burned up. Crawl space humidity monitoring is now back in business! Dinner tonight was spaghetti with cheese sprinkled on and fresh tomato mixed with the bottled sauce.
