The footings were very unique for this project. Over 30 cubic yards of concrete, three times what most houses use to create a snowshoe imprint to handle the weight of the Rammed Earth Walls.
Perimeter footing squared using triangle measuring techniques and laser to 1/4 inch.
Putting in 2′ ground stakes for footing support. Using 2″ x 12″. Footing is four feet wide.
Rebar before wall keys.
