I want to do an addition to the back of my house, but don't want the concrete truck to drive around the yard. I could hire a concrete pumper, but would like to do it once and pour the footing and crawl space floor at the same time. What about a stay in place "foam footing form" that I could pour up against. Any ideas, articles, or links with information?

Thanks,
Rick

You are putting a slab on grade in place? Or an actual slab in the crawlspace? That would be nice to have - but why?
The only reason I ask is that I've never seen a crawlspace with a slab... at least in my neck of the woods.

How about using a motorized wheelbarrow. There is another name for it to do with concrete but I can't think of it right now. ( I just had a hernia operation a few hours ago and dammit does it hurt) These motorized rigs can be or used to be rented at rent shops. A buggy with a motor on the back> You can lay down plywood. Just for curiosity you do realize that construction sites can be messy and the repair of which is factored into the cost of construction........ or should be.
