Brettski and Winston,
Thank you for the advice. I've printed out this information and some other good stuff I've come up with to see what he wants to do.
We'll get an engineer involved, but my experience is that if they don't know all the options, they wont admit it and charge him thier time to educate themselves. If we prestent a few options and then have it designed, we hope it will go allot smoother.
The weight of the cement piers makes allot of sense. Using metal is probably what will happen, but fiberglass seems to be very popular in New England.
If this happens, it won't be for a few months at the earliest, and maybe even next year.
Thanks,
Eddie
