Title: 16x28 Victoria Cottage post and beam foundation
Post by: highlandva on October 02, 2011, 04:59:50 PM
Hello all,
I just received my plans for the Victoria and have a foundation question.  I will be doing the post and beam and need to understand a little better (visually) what this looks like.  From all the threads on this site I have noticed most of the joists sitting on top of the beams and this plan shows then being hung.  I am thinking the beams should sit on top of each post but the plans show bolting.  There are also sill boards with these bolts in the material list and I understand the sill for concrete foundations but not the post and beam.  Does anyone have a picture or sketch that I can see???  Thanks
