Good deal, if ya can, bum or rent a mixer. I just poured 30 80# sacks & if not for the mixer I borrowed would've been a killer. Keep updating w/ pics, any heat or plumbing?

Just found it it was much cheaper to have it poured then buy the bags and mix it myself

Are you using native rough cut for your lumber?

Can’t be, the excavation would need to be a larger foot print.

Don’t see any re rod either…?

Are them round things siting on the top soil?

Don't need re-rod for a footer.Was cheaper for me to have everything poured togather so I'm now going to also have the porch concrete slab poured at the same time.Going to use metal cattle panels inside of the porch pad instead of re-rod.Got to also get that ready now and have the concrete sceduled to be delivered on the 17th of June.
