Looking for Fine Homebuilding article on drainage

10 years ago

Hello. Several years ago, I found a Fine Homebuilding article on how to use plastic sheets, furring strips and gravel to direct water away from the exterior of the house. I have lost the article and can't find it online. Are any of you familiar with this article and if so, would you please share the web address?

Never mind, folks, I found it. It's a Fine Homebuilding Q&A on installing in-ground gutters.

Yes,here it is, by the ubiquitous Martin Holladay.

And, in a picture, the "underground roof."
