The soil on our property is very stoney and solid. I wanted to make some foundations for eight stacks of cinder blocks filled with cement and rebar. Setting these bricks on the ground is not a good thing from what I can see, though our ground could probably manage it quite nicely. On a trip to Home Depot, I saw a block that was designed to either have a 4x4 sitting on end on top of it or a 2x accross it. The slots on the top of this block made this clear. I wanted to use 8x8x16 blocks, so, after looking around for a premade block, I could not find any. Instead, I made a form and poured my own out of foundation cement. This is harder and denser cement designed for footings, etc. Return to Table of Contents Thread: Home Foundations  - David Bailey 07-14-06 16:53 pm       Cabin Foundation Outer Footings  - David Bailey 09-06-06 20:44 pm              Cabin Foundation Outer Footings  - David Bailey 09-06-06 20:48 pm Respond to this message Here: From: Email: (optional) Subject: Add Picture (jpg only) or File (Word, Excel, PDF, Gif, PNG or text): Message:
