I meant how the windows respond to strong wind gusts. He did check the windows, of course.

Anyway I gather that the window should not creak.

40-50 mph is some serious wind
can't blame a window for creaking in that

Squirrel got into our air duct and died. Took us a week and three different companies to figure out where the death smell was coming from. And about $500. Merry Christmas

It rained like a motherfucker here yesterday, and I went down to my crawlspace just to have a look. There is a lot of water pooled under the vapor barrier. Just a few little spots where it came up above the vapor barrier, I'm really not concerned about that. And I know the water will eventually (probably by today) slowly drain down grade on its own. But there was pooling of at least a couple inches ... from the top it kinda felt like a water bed.
Should I be concerned about this? Water pooling UNDER the vapor barrier?

Yes, I think you should be concerned.
We had an issue with our lawn irrigation system that saw some water getting under our vapor barrier -- this was due to the location of the manifold, and had nothing to do with our foundation.
I spoke with a plumber, and his take was that for the small amount of water, and the very dry climate we live in, he wasn't the least bit worried...
But yours sounds like it's possibly a crack in the foundation, and you're obviously in a much more humid climate. Better to get it checked out.

I am no structural engineer, but my understanding is that setting your domicile on a swamp is not a good idea.
My concern is that this is a sign of hairline cracks in your foundation, which will only become more problematic (and definitely impact the resale value of your home).

definitely without knowing exactly what's going on time to shell out $13k for a french drain + sump pump

Correct. COuld indicate poor drainage as well. You might start seeing cracks in your sidewalk, driveway, foundation, patio's.....
