Does everybody else know this?

Cow has spent a horrifying hour reading about how, in drought conditions, you're supposed to water your house foundation.

Not just anyhow, but precisely 6 inches away from the walls of the house, for 20 minutes on each side....

And this keeps your foundation from cracking in droughts. Had the Cow known this, she would have been doing this all summer.

Instead, now Cow has two new cracks on her ceiling and three doors that are sticking, that never stuck before.

Cow reads the paper regularly, and never has seen an article about this. Does everybody already know to do this but the poor Cow from the Land of Topiary, where droughts and foundation problems are unheard of?

Moo!

I've never heard this before. I'm interested too in the validity and effectiveness of this.

I have not heard this before. Concrete is like a hard sponge and can absorb moisture, sometimes causing wood floor problems. learning something everyday.
