Modular Mountain Retreat Project

Site Work and Frostwall in Preparation for Precast Foundation Video

Bob teams up with, Michael Shiels, the project’s general contractor, to discuss the foundation prep work that is underway. The home site began as a piece of raw forest on the side of a hill. The contractor’s team sliced a shelf out of the hill to lay a flat foundation. Local codes required a four-foot below the frost line base for the foundation’s frost wall.
