It is unbelievably hot here. I cannot remember heat like this. We have had several deaths locally because of the heat.
Our soil around here is clay.It greatly expands,it really soaks up the water.Then when it dries out,it shrinks big time.
Foundation problems,with a slab foundation,has created a big industry here.
I,on purpose,bought a house with a pier & beam foundation to prevent a lot of the problems.

Steve,you must not have been around here during the summer of '80.That was hot ! Most of those records still stand.
