Disaster waiting to happen #2
Why it's best to use footing forms!
The insecure footing is sitting on top of the ground and can easily give way due to erosion or mishap. This will bring the deck crashing down.

Richard Kindig of Staunton, VA says, "Here's how to build a 20 X 24 shop on columns in three easy
steps:
1. Dig holes
2. Pour columns on Bigfoot footers
3. Erect building"

"Actually," he admits, "step one was a lot of work. I couldn't find a big enough augar so we made the holes with a back hoe . . . Otherwise it went well and cost about half of the cost quoted for a block foundation."

Testimonial for Bigfoot Systems® - support beam install
"My Bigfoot forms arrived just now. I can't wait to get under the house and get these
into place! I have been waiting to do this for many years and now is my launch window. I first
saw your product years ago in This Old House magazine
and knew that this was what I needed.
"If I ever build a house from scratch, which I might
do . . . you will definitely get another order! These would be so easy to use for a startup
project. Mine will be a little more interesting . . . adding a support beam to an existing
dwelling...with a 3 foot crawlspace. However, I have no doubt that this will be a very strong
section of floor once I get through! Thanks again for all of your help."
