Moggaman Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 Hi. I am looking to put in my entrance now. There is a slope going from the road up to my house. There will be 2 inside piers and 2 outside piers connected by block walls plastered. Can I put the footing in on the slope or should I always have a level footing with steps ?. Easier for blocklayer with level footing ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferdinand Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 Remember that you will need an accessible entrance - though that need not be at this particular entrance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
