Concrete Foundation
Where can I get a detailed step by step instruction to build a foundation? How deep the walls need to go 48" for frost line and so on. I am attaching to existing garage and will be pouring a floor also. Can I rent foundation panels? How wide do I need to dig the trench to fit the panels and can one person with determination install these forms? Thanks.

You can get an architect and engineer to draw up your plans, then you can read up on how to best accomplish those drawings. What is your profession?

I have already drawn prints and submitted to town hall and they have been accepted. I am a Home improvement contractor (High level Handyman). This will be my first step to the bigger jobs, except for remodeling kitchen and baths. I have neven done the excavating for foundations and am unsure of details. I have no dought about handeling the job.
