Hello!

I'm finishing a pole shed with concrete floor, insulation, etc. It's on
a slight hill down a few hundred feet from the house. One side of the
shop is facing up a hill, and of course the other is facing down the hill.

Right now just the concrete floor is done, but the rest is getting
started this weekend.

Yesterday doing some work we noticed water leaking in from the side
facing up the hill... onto the concrete. Living in MN now I know this
spring after the snow melts it will probably be more of a problem with
water leaking in from the side.

Without doing full out drain tile, are there any suggestions on how to
help eliminate water leaking in from the "high side" of the shop into
the building? Damming? Trenching? Maybe a small tile about 2 feet in
the ground around that side of the building?
