Hello,

Can someone give me a simple way to determine the spacing for concrete
posts under a cottage?

I am planning a 28' x 22' gable end cottage with loft, on 10" concrete
posts set below frost line.

How about the beams? Someone said to space the posts roughly every 8' and
use tripled up 2x8 for beams, glued and nailed to the full 28' length.

Any guidance in this will be appreciated. Thanks,

John
