Interesting thought about the piers. I'll have to ask. The slab will be supported by stones/gravel/sand, compacted down and allowed to sit while the building is framed in.
Here's where things stood today, after the forms had been removed. The slab company is different from the foundation guys. A lot of what you hire a general contractor for is who he knows and how good a job he does managing them.
This shows the relative positions of the man door to the garage and the back door of the house. Main electrical input to the house is to the right of the light above the door, where it goes in to the main panel. The white conduit through the foundation is where the conduit from the house will enter the garage. Electrical panel will be just above on the wall next to the door.
Plan is to run electrical runs through the slab. Heavy machinery--welders, compressor, blast cabinet, milling machine, lathe--will go in the back room of the garage where the high wall is.
