JRM, you are way up North by Lake Superior. Cold Winters?

How deep below grade are the bottoms of footers?

I don't have any water table issues at my new property.

I'm thinking of using Frost Protected Shallow Footers (FPSF) only need to go 16" below grade, with quite a bit of EPS on outside footers, not under unless it's an un-heated building. They are approved by IRC 2009 Code.
