    Moving a shop/garage to my house

    Well I got my building permits and have decided to go with footings for a couple reasons, much better structurally, better to heat, and lastly im afraid that if I poured a slab the weight of trailer and building would crack the concrete since it will stl be rather green.

    Moving a shop/garage to my house

    I was orginally going to do a slab for this with a thickened edge but have been giving thought to doing footings. a poured footing 12"x48" is going to be 14yrds of concrete at about $1200, plus the 3 courses of block on top of that bringing me to around $1500. Or I could do a 12"x12" footing...
