An alternative to footings: the ground screw, before and after

First the ground, then the screws at depth, then the structure. When it is taken down, nothing is left to demolish.

Video hosted on YouTube: it only loads when you press play.

Footing or ground screw? The video shows the before and after: first the ground, then the screws driven in at depth, then the structure.

And the day it is taken down, the T-Blocks are unscrewed and leave no trace: no footings to demolish, no rubble to carry away.
