Timber Framers Guild Forums General General Forum Questions Larsen-Truss on a Timber Frame

I've often had the deck run over the foundation, then set the SIPs on the deck. With a 6.5" SIP wall and a 10" foundation you have half your post over masonry, and you solid block in the deck as needed. If you have a need you can pilaster up in the basement or build a bump out in the foundation. Depends on loading, etc.... as my usual response.
