Pilings

If you are looking to play Lincoln Logs or Pick Up Sticks, you probably wouldn't want to choose these puppies. Forty piles were delivered, washed in and set last week. Overall it was an extremely busy week, with the lot being cleared and filled, temporary power installed, building and septic permits issued, and piles set and inspected.

So the pilings are set in place by washing sand around them and pounding them in? Instead of concrete to set them? Obviously us Ohioans have no clue how a beach house is built... but it's definitely interesting!

The piling are 10' underground. The concrete slab is set to be poured around the pilings this Friday. The piling size/depth and concrete team up to create a solid foundation.
