Are you guys dropping soaker hoses or have you done so already? I'm thinking I might need to do so soon.

Haven't done soakers yet, but have watered the side of the house with a sprinkler for a couple hours every night, disregarding the "conserve water" situation. If you're seeing the soil separate from the foundation, wet that stuff asap. We just moved here, and spent 2-3 months looking at houses, one of the biggest determining factors was foundation history and quality. Ended up choosing an older house with a proven foundation rather than the newer junk they've been building the last decade.
