Question for Grigg and others:
What type (and width) of foam foundation forms can be used with a timber frame ? I did not believe that the width of the types of foam forms would be enough to carry the point loads of the posts. I would consider then as designed to carry evenly distributed loads as in conventional framing. Do you need to make any special (reinforced concrete) pillars under the posts to carry the load of the major posts ? Any information will be greatly apperciated. This is a subject that I have thought about and have not yet answered.
Thank you.
