Default Re: Started digging, stopped digging. Water problems.

The key thing on that foundation comment by David is the drainage. You want to keep that coarse material drained to avoid the freezing/ frost heave issues.

I doubt that you're going to have damage the oven if the hearth slab is well reinforced. Consider the hearth and oven as a monolithic unit on your separate floating foundation unit.
