    Is the 4k for both the rat walls AND the floor itself?

    Mine says for structures 600sqft and smaller 24" rat wall. Greater the 600sqft you need 42" footing. It said they were either 6 or 8 inch. I need to put footings under my garage. Its roughly 800-850sqft.

    In Troy it says the same thing, under 600 sq ft 24" deep ratwall and over 42" deep ratwall and 8" footing. They didn't specify a width, so I called them and they said 4" wide.

    Yes....I told the cement guys I have to have a ratwall...

    That figures. I have like 3 or 4 truckloads of cement just in the footings. They got REALLY wide after sitting open for a month in June.

    Ouch. I have to brace, lift and dig them under an existing garage lol. I wish I could just move it a foot each direction and I'd rent a trench machine.

    That 4k quote seems very high to me. For no more then $1,000 in material they will make 3,000 to dig a form it for half a day and then pour the next day. If your health and time permits it, I'd dig, form, and prep it myself. Call a concrete company and pay them, and hire 2 guys to come pull, float, and finish the slab.

    Well, if you know anyone who does it and will call me back, let me know because I am ready.

    Yes, I am trying to get quotes - 2 out of about 10 have responded and they were both within $50 at a little more than 4K.

    Edit - I just had the Tuff Shed recommended concrete guy call me back and he was also at 4K. Since he was recommended by Tuff Shed, he took $500 off, so he is at $3500 and he is licensed and all that.
