I have a patio, a lower patio, patio extension all ready converging in the corner where the oven is going. So I have 2 choices, demolish what's there or build on top....I think building on top is a lot less work so that's what I'm doing.....but that will mean there are 5 or 6 pieces of footer under the oven which seems a lot less than optimal...but that's what I'm doing then I'll put a slab with lots of steel in it over all that to tie it all together and keep the over on top stable.
I dug most of the first piece of new footer Saturday evening and finish up up Sunday morning. Since Sunday was fathers day and frickin hot Lana felt bad i had to be out there working....and gave me a tarp to block the morning sun and a fan so I could work faster

I took a little break 12-2 and ran out to get the concrete mix and steel then poured the 1st of the new footers then moved on to digging the second part:

I'm drilling into the old work about 4" and driving in rear to give it a chance of staying together.....a chance.....
