Sizing Concrete Footings
Sizing concrete footings should be left to the professionals. If you are one of those do it yourselfers you can take the necessary precautions and try to figure this one out for yourself.
Be sure that each measurement is done twice to avoid any imperfections in the footing size.
When ordering the concrete be sure that you are specific about measurements. It would be bad if you order not enough concrete to finish the job.
