[QUOTE="eyexer, post: 226132, member: 315"] I don't put any doors in anymore that don't have vinyl jambs and brickmold. That solves the issue with finger mortises on the brickmold and that happy horseshit. In regards to your foundation db2 code states the base of the footing has to be below the frost line. Here that is considered 48". The foam on the outside of the foundation you are talking about it to stop cold radiation through the concrete into the inside space/floor. It's simply a thermal barrier. That being said you and I know damn well the frost in ND gets below 48" on a pretty regular basis. Hell I've seen water lines freeze at 8' deep. The reason this happens is entirely dependent on the soil you have. Certain soils freeze much deeper than other soils. So my guess is that the type of soil you have freezes deeper and is allowing the soil beneath the footing to freeze. This will cause lift in the soil causing the foundation to rise and crack in the winter. Then settle back down in the summer. At this point there really isn't a damn thing you can do that wouldn't be extremely hurtful to your pocket book. [/QUOTE]
