Anyone know about Wood Foundations?

That kind of construction doesn't exist in eastern NC. Probably not in any of NC except maybe the mountains. It is interesting though, however in the end I wonder how much cheaper it is than a regular concrete footing and masonry wall.

Well I actually have the original invoice. Now keep in mind this was 1994. But the entire foundation cost $11,692.00. Thats for roughly a 50' x 30' foundation. I have no idea if that was expensive or cheap for that day.

If I were to build my own house I would do poured walls.
