Too bad there isn't a way to move the whole thread.
Interesting about the damp/puddle/cool factors. If the puddle is when it rains, perhaps there is another issue. As for the dampness, I wonder if the placement of a vapor barrier would reduce that? My slab plans call for a 4 mil barrier, even in the garage area. As for the coolness, I suspect much is related to the stable temperature of the mass (tank of water). I can see that be a welcome effect at most any elevation.
