80 feet of house. 50 feet of Foundation.

It's best to pour a foundation prior to building the rest of the house. In the event you require a new foundation post-construction, you will need the following items: hundreds of solid wood blocks for cribbing, several pump jacks, two 40' "I" beams and someone brave enough to go under and jack the house up 2".
Poor Amy had to hold the house up for an entire month. I gave her a comp day for her effort.
The foundation contractor (Perkins Concrete) removed an additional 1 1/2 feet from the inside in order to gain enough headroom for the garage.
The guys pouring the frost wall. This was the first thing to go into the WH that wasn't the color of old wood!

Wicked straight!
