That looks very nice, Rick. Certainly more fire resistant, and it will drain better. People with basements benefit from fast drainage into french drain pipes buried around their house perimeter. Chasing a spider away from her web is the same as killing her. They have to eat the old web to get that silk protein to make a new one. If they can't, it's likely they starve to death.

BTW, I figured out why Putin is having so many disasters coming his way: He allied himself with Trump. That's all it takes. Trump has "the Midas touch" but in a more fecal manner. Everything and everyone he touches turns to crap. Lawyers disbarred and jailed, business associates bankrupt. contractors ruined financially, counties and cities in serious debt when he refuses to pay his "rally" bills, etc. He is essentially the Devil: His deals seem to good to be true, and in the end they are.

Educating anyone benefits everyone.
