Re: To cripple or not?

Text of the message:
Stay away from the pony wall for the foundation.
If you're talking about a sill, vice a pony wall.  Yes, build a sill first,
then put the subfloor framing on top of that.  A sill is substantial
framing, and sets on edge like the subfloor joists above it.  Its layout is
somewhat different than the subfloor with exception of the perimeter in most
cases.  An example would be a 2X12 sill with 2X10 subfloor framing above it.
The footings should be at least as deep as the piers are tall.
You can pour the footing first, make them wider than the piers.  Drop a
couple of 1/2" rebars at the top of the footing to tie to the piers.  Would
hire out a contractor that uses an auger (for digging utility pole holes)
for the footings.  24" auger bit.  12'X12" piers.  You don't need a form for
the footings.  The footing would need some rebar to hold their shape during
minor ground movement.
