[QUOTE="eyexer, post: 226912, member: 315"] absolutely nothing wrong with them. I have put in quite a few. It was actually a pretty common thing in the mid to late 90's but has died off as the price of lumber has gone up. It's now pretty equivalent in cost to concrete basement. Except those with ICFS walls. But after doing ICFS concrete basements that's all I do anymore. Expensive but well worth it. One thing I will tell you. The wood foundations (product) is guaranteed 75 years. Try to get your concrete company to guarantee their concrete for 75 years lol. There is a large area of southern saskatchewan that has such a high alkali soil they can't put in concrete basements. They have been doing wood up there for one hell of a long time. They can be tricky to put in . The style of house plays a big roll on how tricky they are. But if done right they are just fine. And you'll know in a few short years if they are done right or not.
