NW IA | The wall may be a bit of over-kill. There is a 4 foot deep footing with rebar up into 4 foot stem walls. The carpenter borrowed plywood forms from a contractor, they had plastic holds and clips for the top. Worked well but needed to put in more support than the contractor's instructions called for. The first load "blew" out at the bottom so we screwed 2x4s to the top of the footing which was wider than the wall.
The carpenter asked for outside advice, this was the first project like this he had done, and was told the deep footings were not necessary but we both wanted to do it this way. | |
