Having a Pier & Beam foundation has one little drawback; there is no default floor in-between the Piers.
Luckily, the builders have made a Deck , which is the basis for the final flooring.

So now from higher up it looks like this;

And from the side;

Or from the front;

I kinda like the way it looks; a lot better than a slab; imagine how much concrete would be needed to fill up all the space under the deck.
And of course, it is great storage place, for instance for logs for the fireplace.

Concrete pouring has started this week and the 23 pier bases are filled, with the rebar sticking out where the next section of the piers will be.

Tomorrow the piers will be brought up to the needed height.

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.
