Concrete foundation footing with timber support members

A foundation footing comprising:

• a concrete encasement extending about a perimeter of a foundation, said concrete encasement having lengths and extending longitudinally along said lengths;
• a support framework encased within said concrete encasement, said support framework including elongate members formed of timber which extend within said concrete encasement, wherein said elongate members formed of timber include terminal ends and intermediate portions extending between said terminal ends parallel to respective ones of said lengths of said concrete encasement;
• and
• brackets respectively secured in fixed relation to adjacent ones of at least two of said terminal ends and said intermediate portions of respective ones of said elongate members formed of timber, rigidly securing said elongate members in fixed relation encased within said concrete encasement.
