(aka Frost Proof Shallow Foundation - are a cup half full / half empty person?)
Slideshows of the various FPSF configurations, foundation and rim joist cladding as part of the FPSF system. Some were fabbed in the garage, others built in situ. The jury is out on which is faster and easier, better looking. My preference has to be for fabbing off site. Easier on the back.
It will take a few minutes for all the slides to load, be patient.
