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. Save your cash on the cattle panels and spend money on excavating the top soils and compact with proper fill Bar only makes it not settle once it start to sink after the cracking start because of improper soil handling conditions

I built commercial concrete walls and footers for around 4 years. There's a huge difference in what is required for commercial inspected work and home, non inspected, do it yourself work. A lot of the difference is because of how much load is born by the footers.

Vinke....is that a napkin or toilet paper ??? Office cuts….. It is a piece of the highest weight printer paper you can purchase from the box stores. This piece of paper sat outside under cover for a very short period, and absorbed moisture. My hypothesize ….l.. The higher fiber levels of wood stock used to create this fine paper, increased the amount of particulate area for moisture to be absorbed. Might be able to save a planet with this. Grow toilet paper….

A little ground sterilant in precision application is a simple event to take care of any vegetation you don't want for a long time.

Some of the guys appear to have thought you were putting a concrete slab as the floor for your den, instead a wood floor, supported by concrete, with a crawl space. Their comments didn't make sense to me at first either until I figured out they didn't understand what you were building. Keith
