Here is what I do know:
- no rebar in the pad, i guess it was not required
- no idea of fiberglass reinforcement or not but I am pretty sure it was not used
- he has been building houses for abt 40 years and has built many high end homes in the Harrisburg area....i am personally aware of more than 100 houses that he has built.
- if this stays the way it is then I am fine with that, I'm just taken aback that it has happened so early.
- no idea abt rebar in the footers but a simple phone call to the code guy will tell me that and prob how deep. I have to make sure i keep him sort of close anyway as it may help me get my second garage permit in the near future.
- again, my guess on the pad depth based on the before/after pics is 3-4".
- i will give him a call on Monday to discuss and see what info he gives me. Still busy right now with the old house as we have some prep to do before closing. I want to at least get that wrapped up so i can focus on the new place.
Thanks to all of you for the input......construction is not my area of expertise. I will update once I talk to both him and the inspector. I could have sworn I saw some rebar in the stack of supplies but I don't see it in any of my pics so it either wasn't used for the footers or i stopped by and didn't have my camera that day.
