In 1967 my family moved from Texas to Bolivar, MO. In 1969 he built a house outside of town. It was on a slab foundation, the first one ever to be built in the area. A builder from Arkansas who had also moved to Bolivar laid the slab. Of course those who found out what my dad was doing thought he was off his rocker.
Fast forward to the present. In 2002 I visited that house for the first time in 25 years. It looked as good as, if not better than, ever; well-kept, solid, everything one could want in a house that age. The owner was completely happy with it, which tells me that there had never been a single problem with the foundation. If it's done right, it lasts, including any and all plumbing within it. |
