I am building a 24x28 cabin on an 8" block crawlspace. I am planning on 16"x16" concrete footings. The cabin will have a covered porch on the long side. The frost depth is 36". What should I plan to do for footings for the support posts for the porch? should they match the foundation footings, 16"x16"x16"?
I know to be safe someone will say pour everything 40" deep, but we built houses like this in the past on these footings. any movement from frost wasn't noticeable, but they didn't have the porch.
anybody with advice or experience with this construction?
