Learning How to Read Construction Plans (after pouring footings is not the best idea, not too late but still)

The foundation guys have been working on the new piers for about a week now. Today was concrete day so what happened? I realized I had made a mistake, or the engineer made a mistake or we both made a mistake and caught it in the nick of time! not a super costly mistake … I hope. But it will cost me.

The gist of it is this - there are two finished floor heights on the new construction: one for the storage closet an the other for the new house. I didn’t realize I had not made a plan for that with the foundation guys until the the rebar forms were in the holes, ready for their cozy cement footings.

I think we have solved the problem but won’t know until we get on the phone with the engineer in the morning. Wish me luck.
