The permitting process was a nightmare the town wanted 16 inch piers, We had to hire a soil engineer to give us a compression ratio of 3000 pounds per square foot I only had to change one out to a 14. In the center.

Thanks Because of the wind we have at time I use the cap nails so it does not get sucked off the wall. Use to use roofing nails , but had to much trouble with the wind.

It's a good product and GreenSpan has all the goodies that go with it. The sill flashing, window tape and a very thick and wide tape.:thumbsup:

Redoing this trailer with my FIL. Be a good equipment hauler. R hiking about buying a backhoe with the stuff we have on the books, be good for the mini ex, skid steer and tractors too

Cut the deck out, oak believe it or not.

Striped wire. Straightening body, adding some steel. Brush wheel on a grinder. Brush ospho on the whole thing. Tomorrow another coat of ospho. Wednesday or Thursday prine heavy with Kem Kromic. Then two coats of DTM alkyd. New wire and breakaway, New lights. New tires, and GCPT 2x12 deck

So the latest code made 14" footings the standard. It mathematically works better with pounds per square foot as formulated since it's round.

Not always a big deal on the ends but the center of any structure carries the greatest tributary load and should always be bigger. People just make them all the same out of convenience.
