In looking at various homes for sale, you can obviously tell that some are built on a slab and others appear to be sitting on posts. I understand that just putting this posts on the ground do nothing if the earth moves and your house can fall off. That being said, I can't believe that the county would even permit that type of construction. I have seen other pictures on this site of others homes being built that seemed to have holes dug/drilled and subsequently filled with cement and then post attached to these piers? Am I missing the basics here?
We are trying to design something a bit off the ground and able to stay together if the earth moves. Possible?
