wood foundation and a large tank

[kwirky]

I just had a realization last night. My fiance doesn't know what a "foundation" is. She thought the oak flooring of the basement is what the house is sitting on *slaps head*

And her dad's third language is english and the word "foundation" was lost in translation. I realized they HAVE to have a cement floor at least in the basement because their laundrey/furnace room has a cement floor. The tank would be going in the basement not upstairs so I'm pretty sure it would be safe.
