I am wondering if anyone knows of a good book about building a wood basement? I saw one a couple of years ago and should have bought it but we were not ready yet. Now we are planning to move in a modular this summer and I am going to try to do a lot of the work myself as far as the basement part, and I would like to learn as much as I can. The basement will be only about 4′-5′ in the ground and so I’m thinking that wood will be okay. If anyone knows of a good publication, I would appreciate the tip! Thanks!

This site has a free, downloadable manual on building PWFs (permanent wood foundations).
Not sure if you are in an area that uses building codes, or what code you might use but IRC has some stuff in it about PWFs.
