Yea, let's zip!! Down the line that is. How far is it going to go and what will be the final cost of this adventure fun is going to be your part of the outcome. Calculate carefully and show all your work.. . . . . . . . . . . the story is accessed through the picture.
Piers are in, the concrete is poured. Now it's time for the wood! Wood is good! The flooring structure is very important for support of any structure especially a "pier-like" deck.

The foundation in construction is critical. Sid and Pesto encounter an immediate design / engineering issue as they begin the inital foundation construciton of their island dream house. Costs, again, are the issue as they need to understand both the construction engineering and how much material is needed. . . . . the picture will take you there.
