This is how Addie and I built the foundation and leveled it for our cabin. We used a water level to set 25 pillars for our cabin to sit on. each pillar was dug out to sit on clay so the frost would have very little effect. Now four years later and on our fifth winter we have still not yet noticed any settling. I feel it has held up very well thus far.
In my early days here I didn't understand how to tag things to get them seen. So now that I somewhat have an idea and a following I figured I would repost a few from my beginning.
