i have built a 20'x20' garage and punched (2) 8' wide garage door openings in one face. the problem is that i want the garage door openings to be open all the way through the bottom of the walls so that it looks like it would in reality w/ a trench footing for the walls to sit on and then the slab will be poured and you will see the slab @ the bottom of the door and not part of a masonry wall that has a punched opening.
to summarize: i want the opening for my door to go from top of footing to the correct specified height, but i want the door to only take up the top 7' of the opening. i would also like to know how to put in the footing, but i think i can figure that one out. there is also the issue of how to get the slab to turn down and sit on the footing which is quite about 18" lower and the slab is only 6" thick.
