My biggest problem was my sloping property. I worked with the guy who built=
my house and the following Flicker set is what we did. We dug footings 10x=

Probably to most, the foundation seems overkill, but I certainly can attest=

Very timely to see. I am replacing the steps from our deck. I will use this
