We are planning a new cabin in the mountains. The existing cabin has been there almost 90 years now. The issue with building a new cabin is the footings. Is it possible with enough people to pour a concrete foundation with nothing more than a mixer and piles of ready mix? There is no way on earth a cement truck could make it to the site. There is about 9 miles of serious off-road to get there. Might be able to drag one in with a dozer but it would be dicey.
Is there any solution for the situation where cement trucks just can't make it?
And before I get a slew of "...no inspector would ever let you...." or "..building codes require..." This is unincorporated land and no building permit is required. Doesn't mean I don't have signed drawings or don't care about code. I'm just saying that limitations on pouring by hand that are based on legal issues are not relevant here.
