I have a cabin that I should have done some sort of foundation for besides the 6x6's I used and would like someone to come in and fix me up. The 6x6's are in great condition, there are no issues with leveling or shifting (6x6's are about 2 years old). The cabin is 24'x36'. I have a thread on here for my "cabin build" for reference, just search my name. If anyone knows someone or if someone on here does that kind of work shoot me a message. Thanks for any help in advance.

I didn't read the details on the foundation but are the 6x6's currently resting on a concrete footing in the ground? Or are they in the ground with concrete poured around them like a deck?

If they are currently resting on a concrete pier in the ground you should be fine. You can always use something to treat the wood to prevent weathering and from the soil or pests like tarring and termite bait sticks around the perimeter. If not, have you thought about adding blocks and shims at points under the house to rest on like a mobile home? may be a cheaper option since you've done this thing on a budget and are so far along in the process. If settlement occurs after that, you can make adjustments as needed.

They have a cap block that the 6x6' are sitting on and then 160lbs of concrete around each post.

Honestly Quailmanman, that is what I am leaning towards but I wouldn't mind someone looking at it for peace of mind.

Oh ok I got you, peace of mind is priceless. I think you’re probably good with some preventative mesausres. If you ever notice uneven floors or sticky doors, jack and level with blocks. Hell, people used to build houses on stacked rocks or cut logs used like posts and they’d stand for 100 years. You have new and engineered materials so you’re already ahead of the game in comparison.
