The videos we watch are not 100% gold, but if we find a gold nugget, the time spent viewing has a value.
We can please some of the people some of the time, but we can't please all the people all of the time..... but I will keep trying.
If you are interested in keeping abreast of any new videos, please subscribe to my channel at YOUTUBE...... channel is ds hall

My 1st. thought would be to use slabs. This goes to show that there are different ways to achieve the same thing.

If you have a crawlspace and will have posts over those footings, why not use that tool (post w/ftg) and get both at the same time? See pages 460 and 487 in the manual. You should place a floor beam (page 460 also) before placing the posts. If that isn't what you are doing, please disregard this post and try Scott/Tommy's method.
