[QUOTE="CHenry, post: 2736735, member: 6281"] yes, a floating slab is a proven technology and the stemwall is the only supporting foundation so if you put it on a clay base, its a fail. If you plant oak trees next to the house, expect so see heaving of the house in that area in 25 years or less. The soil can't move or you will have issues, period. By the way shrink swell soil is also a reason we have shity roads, or so I am told. The sub base is the key. [/QUOTE]
