Agreed!! Terry

Yes it is! I am looking forward to the day when the framing is done and the roof is complete. Then we can relax and enjoy the process without the constant fear of rain. Gonna be a great day! Terry

Directly on the soil and you are welcome. Terry

@@ForestToFarm Awesome. I've been binging your videos since I wrote that comment earlier today. I love watching houses get built from the very beginning, fascinating stuff.

You got that tight!! Terry

Honestly are not no experts. Also without being able to physically look at what is going on it would be very hard to determine what needs to be done. I would hate to steer you in the wrong direction. Ideally a drop sill to shorten the span would give good support but it seems that is not an option for you. Sorry. Wish I could help more. Terry

I agree lol. We did what is common here. After doing it I would never do it again. Forming with boards just makes sense. We had pins set to the proper depth at around every 6 foot. It works but it is just not perfect. Thanks for watching! Terry

By the way we checked with a transit and were within 1/2" or less so it does work.

No exact science at least for us. I did not like where they were though. The guy we hired to dig them did it at his own discretion. It was actually not a good layout in my opinion but that is what you get when you hire people. We ended up sending them away and finished the footings ourselves. Wish we would have done it all ourselves. Hindsight. Terry

Also you want the depth to be an equal division of the block you are laying if possible. We had 8” block so either 8”, 16” or 24” bulkheads would be ideal. 24” is the max allowed in our area. Hope this helps. Terry

Yea just did my layout and when I leveled the string lines I got like a 4ft drop across a 56ft span so I just wanted an idea of where to put the steps. I understand it has to be in 8 inch increments but just didn't know the distance between the steps.

@@KillaCowboy OK. Wish I could tell you more. Terry

Thanks a bunch still.. Getting great info from your videos
