Form and pour small footer / foundation
I have a small addition 12′ x 14′ that I would like to close up beneath it for storage.
It rests on 3 6×6 wooden posts atop 14″ x 14″ concrete footers.
I want to form and pour a footer and small foundation in order to build walls to enclose it.
My problem is this. The left most wooden post is 52 1/2 inches long while the other two are 57 1/2 and 57 7/8 respectively. So the cement footer on the left is higher than the other two.
I’m having a hard time envisioning a form and pour with these ‘uneven’ footers.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Barry

Pier pads will go
away in the end. Assuming the pier pads rest on undisturbed soil, the bottom of the pier pads is your bottom of footing elevation. You'll shore the structure up to remove posts and pier pads to form the footing, then simply step the footing as grade dictates.
