Save your cash on the cattle panels and spend money on excavating the top soils and compact with proper fill
Bar only makes it not settle once it start to sink after the cracking start because of improper soil handling conditions

I built commercial concrete walls and footers for around 4 years. There's a huge difference in what is required for commercial inspected work and home, non inspected, do it yourself work. A lot of the difference is because of how much load is born by the footers.

Office cuts…..

It is a piece of the highest weight printer paper you can purchase from the box stores.
This piece of paper sat outside under cover for a very short period, and absorbed moisture.
My hypothesize ….l..
The higher fiber levels of wood stock used to create this fine paper, increased the amount of particulate area for moisture to be absorbed.

Might be able to save a planet with this.
Grow toilet paper….

Only 18 inches of soil untill you hit bedrock here.No settling..Bottom of the footing is on bedrock.

A little ground sterilant in precision application is a simple event to take care of any vegetation you don't want for a long time.

A Den is a room in your house, I thought. This looks like a totally separate building?.??

Some of the guys appear to have thought you were putting a concrete slab as the floor for your den, instead a wood floor, supported by concrete, with a crawl space. Their comments didn't make sense to me at first either until I figured out they didn't understand what you were building.
