Ill have all the questions once we get started! I have to install the septic then we'll be starting on the foundation. Hopefully this spring! Firstly, how long are your rafters? Also did you do that crawl space? Or have it contracted out? I'm thinking of doing peir and beam, but I'd be interested in learning more abt the crawl space type foundation. Thanks Sean

The rafters are 26ft. I hired a local company to do the foundation/crawl. I ended up insulating the interior walls and encapsulating it so it’s really a nice little space for storage.

Are you certain that there aren't any termites in your area? With the warming climate, they are establishing further North. Open concrete block construction is what they love. It's a direct, hidden route from the ground to the sill plate. If the sill plate is PT, they'll just go around it, straight to the interior framing. They will especially love your encapsulated heated crawl space. It's impossible to seal it to the extent that it would be termite proof.

@northernmichiganaframe5109

I can’t say that it is easier because getting the rafters or the A’s up was quite a job. Some ppl assemble the A’s and hoist up into place, we chose to install the ridge beam and then do one side of the rafter at a time. I’m not sure what way would be easier. Once that part is done the rest is just traditional framing.
