Thank you!
I apparently slightly misled - anytime the ground is solidly frozen but for a short thaw the flow passes by - and through - the barn. This happens maybe 4-5 times between November and May, but in the spring thaw (Mud season around here) it can last for nearly a month.
The limitation...
Would the 4-6" concrete blocks fill this need you think? I like that idea a lot, actually!
No, it's a fully built, pre-existing barn and the only structure in that area. In order to move it I would have to redo the entire infrastructure and bailout to a point, which would be a PITA and costly...
Thanks to the location of our barn and enclosed coop, every time the ground thaws (spring and winter thaws) our barn's cement slab-floor has somewhere between a sheen and 3" of water on it and/or flowing across it. The coop is built into the building and I am thinking of raising the coops floor...
