Hello! My partner and I are working on our first cabin build in rocky nova scotia and we are trying to figure out how to make a sufficient foundation. The furthest we seem to be able to dig is a little under 2 feet and about half a foot of ground water pools into each hole.
Our plan was to fill these holes with gravel or other small rocks then put a concrete or a mortar and rock pier on top.
We don't plan on having any plumbing or electrical, so a little bit of movement isn't an issue. We just want to be sure we are doing the best foundation possible for as little money as possible of course.
