Two parallel trenches for foundation
|
|
|
| I need to lay out two parallel trenches to pour a level foundation for
a metal building. The land is slightly uneven. What is the best way
to do that? 18 ft wide by 20 ft long.
Thanks for your help..................

| Please!!! If you have to ask that question, hire someone to do it
for you. Truly, you are in over your head. There is no malice in
this just good advice.

| There are many here that can give good advice if you understand
the general principles involved.
The issues are much too complex to give you a quick answer in
usenet. The very fact that you ask suggests it may be beyond your
expertise.
Words you will need to understand:
batter boards
diagonal square
builder's level or water level
There is some information at
<http://www.quikrete.com/diy/LayoutB...andFooters.html>
Make sure you establish drainage elevations before you begin. How
were you going to excavate the footings? Make sure you know where
and how to bring in any utilities involved.
