We got help from a local constructor to level, dig the holes and pour the cement as we weren't completely confident in our skills aquired online and through books. We used our initial design but in the end decided it was impossible to not use cement so we used as little as possible to construct the 25 columns on which the cabin will sit. We dug holes between 2 and 3' deep and reinforced the columns with rebar and a really rocky sand/cement mixture. Once this is layed out we can put the 4" x 4" studs in each 5'x5' square. We managed to use 90% less cement than was proposed, in the end only 10 bags.
