Ludwig...good man indeed, he is. I suppose ground water can be a problem. I don't know about around here. Most folks I've talked to who have concrete floors poured or who pour them apparently don't use it. We're in really dry country - 7" of rain a year, and the only thing that keeps the desert back is irrigation from the Columbia River.
