Mike you would have to learn to dig deeper around here. Frost line is normally around four foot. I usually go 5-6 foot if I really want to be sure. A few years ago the water line under my drive froze at eight foot. That was not fun. Like the way you do your jobs. Usually neat/finished look to them. There are some pretty rough looking footers and such around here. The favorite comment seems to be that it will never been seen again so who cares. It bugs me because "I" know it is not right. LOL (Just my personal OCD issue)

Great job. We do several things differently, it wont change the quality but would increase production if interested. We do use a telebelt to place rock and concrete. Rock first then concrete. If interested let me know I can let ya know the different things we do. Great job looking forward to next video.

I love the concept of the form-a-drain. Guaranteed that your drain has no low or high spots to prevent proper drainage. How do you normally connect the outer drain with the drain sump? Is there some sort of connector installed when the form-a-drain doesn’t wrap around like this one did at the walk out?

I have a question on that system since I'm not familiar with it. When the part that is in the form system meets up with what you called the frost footer, do they not have to be tied together somehow? Where I am, when there is a difference in height in two sections of footer (a step up or step down) we have to let the two sections overlap. If you step up 8 inches then the upper section must overlap the lower section also by 8 inches. We're also limited to a 24 inch step.
