m, thanks, interesting suggestion, but not all of the space is
available through the sellar to push roles through (only two areas to

Mark, thanks for responding. It has an earth floor in the crawl space
portion (about 600 square feet) of the 700 square foot home. I would
install a barrier but there is almost no room to work with only 16
inches height in crawl space with plumbing and duct work in the way on
top of it.
