frost line

| Posted in General Discussion on

Anyone from NJ/NY area care to tell me what the frost line is in Southern NJ. I have family up there and am going to be building a new front porch.. I need to know how deep to put the footings. Do the inspectors there require a seperate footing inspection? Or will they just do a final. Thanks for any help…
