Last week the work finally started on the foundation.
There will be 23 concrete piers, that will be connected with concrete beams, hence the name Pier and Beam foundation.
The logs are now on the lot also; behind the red pick-up.

The red lines show the height at which the foundation will be. As the cabin will be built on a slope,
there is a good 5 feet difference between the back and the front.

As you can see above, the back of the cabin will line up with the big oak trees, and as that is facing south,
the shade should help keep the cabin a bit cooler in the summer.
