Top > Wood > Foundation

Question:

What is the advantages /disadvantages between a concrete foundation and a wood foundation? Which is the best way to go?

Answer:

The wood foundation would be my preference because it can be done without help from anyone and technology has come far enough to make it at least as durable as any other product on the market.
