Shorty started on a cement board put down over the original floorboards.
There is no access under the cabin at all.
I debated cutting through the floor to add shoring and decided to risk not doing it.
There is over 2500# in Shorty (A big girl) but it is spread over a 4x4' area, and the original floor is double-layer sitting on cedar logs.
I gambled that it would be fine and as far as it seems so far, I was correct.
Although that is a lot of weight, it is dispersed quite well.
I always have the option if, in ten years, the floor starts tilting.
I can cut an access hole at that time, and add extra support...
OR better yet the boys who will inherit this property could do so while I sit back and watch...
Yeah, I like that option best!

Thank You!
Gerry and I built the core a few months ahead of time, we probably had 3 weeks of casual work to complete it.
Moving her indoors took us ten days from removing the wood gobbler to the first fire.
So, just over a month.
She is beautiful and efficient, and oh-so warm to hang out with, we both love her!
Heating with bricks rather than wood makes much more sense.
Every time you till, you lose 30% of your organic matter. But this tiny ad is durable:
A rocket mass heater is the most sustainable way to heat a conventional home
