What I get to do
- Prepare list of materials to buy, with costs, prepare a schedule for making foundations.
- Bug the people I know for information about how to do this.
- Look over the book JP has about building with stone.
Preliminary Plans
- Reconnaissance once snow gone:
- Survey site
- Dig hole(s) to bedrock (need pick, shovel, bar)
- Practice stacking rocks
- Maybe practice sticking rocks together with mortar
- Decide on specific foundation design
- Get needed matierials on helicopter
- Get unsuspecting slaves to do lots of manual work (dig 6 holes, transport and wash rocks, mix mortar)
Preliminary Design
- 6 pier rock foundations held together with mortar (and chicken wire?)
- Rebar connecting foundation to bedrock (assuming not too deep)
- Foundations topped with level saddle.
- Beams fit in saddles. Beams are 20'-0" long.
- Beams are 4.5" wide. Outside faces of beams are 11'-10.5"apart.
