Cedar post foundation experiment
A friend of mine gracefully brought to my attention the fact that I was
ignoring the 6 inch freeze zone when I was laying the
ground work for our new building project.
I decided to experiment with some posts from the large cedar tree I cut
down last month. It's easier for an amateur like me to use this method
compared to leveling out the cinder blocks.
This post is part of our Building a Storage Building from Scratch
series.

Six inch freeze zone?
Last time I built anything up that way the freeze zone was eighteen inches, and I remember one winter when it froze below that.
