Why not to build on a hill
 

I guess some people don't know how to engineer structures on a hill.
But an auto jack can help.

They may not have had fancy equipment but they sure were good engineers.

The could've at least used a screw jack instead of the floor jack.
And maybe thrown a couple shingles under the jack legs.

We rented this cabin in South Dakota

I was walking around looking and I saw the pilings were just sitting
on rocks. One good kick would have brought the place down.

When the bed collapsed in the middle of the night true I thought we
were heading to the creek.

Nope just proper piles that go down to bedrock
and steel instead of wood structure for the deck.
