okay, well, i didnt think it could be done. i thought the ground would be frozen solid to a depth of 4' (which is the frost line for this part of the world).
it turns out, the ground was only frozen down to a depth of 2"!
5 holes need to be dug for the foundations- which will be 48" deep concrete sono tube formed foundations.
once the holes are dug, we are required to have them inspected by the building inspector.
we installed the ledger board at the house before we installed the siding- that way we could properly flash the wall (see copper flashing in photo). so now we are ready to frame this bad boy! but we are expecting snow tonight, so we will see.
(yes, that basement window is doomed to live a dark and miserable life beneath the deck!)
