Bricks

OK, so now you can see the outline of the house in brick. The brick pillars that you can see through our are supports. The house sits on top of the outline + pillars leaving a crawl space underneath. I'm told this approach has some advantages over a slab but not exactly sure what those are. I guess if anything ever goes wrong its easier to get at the plumbing etc. but I don't ever intend to go crawling around down there....
