Default Re: Building a Casa 90 into a hillside

I still like the idea of a french drain around the perimeter. That should remove most of the water in the nearby soils. Gravel under the slab is probably almost a must as well. 4 - 6 inches of compacted gravel - tamped, will allow any excess water to escape from underneath the oven without developing soil erosion that could cause voids under the oven.
