[QUOTE="TwoForFlinching, post: 3362751, member: 24500"] Never forget, concrete isn't waterproof. It wicks moisture all the same. Some mixes more than others. Though, depending on your part of the state, 4' pilings might stay dry. For instance, in my neck of the woods, the loamy dirt is dry at 18". Where my parents live in North Central OK, it's still wet/moist at ten feet in their loamy dirt. Treated fence posts in concrete only lasted a decade even though it's ridiculously sandy. All the same, they irrigate the yard pretty heavily. We built his shop with treated 2x plate walls on a stem wall, foam moisture barrier. [/QUOTE]
