 Re: Foundation Question???
Check with your local building dept. When it comes to foundations it is highly advisible to follow "code" for your area. Frost heave and soil composition are both taken into consideration. Remember this, the foundation will be supporting thousands of lbs., the slightest movement of a foundation can cause a disaster or at the very least cracking that is both unsightly and a pain to repair.
I'm guessing that for your area the frost line is in the 36" - 48" depth range, meaning you will need footers down to at least this depth.
