The octagon cabin rests on nine main posts and two extra for the bump out. The posts are mainly locust trees that were felled on the land. The center post is a power line post taken down from when Lisa and Elizabeth went off-grid. The post holes were dug to go below the frost line so that they wouldn't rise out of the ground when it freezes during the winter. The posts were then debarked and put in the ground. To make them stable we tamped dirt and rocks into the hole slowly with sticks.
