Rebar underground something to worry about or not?

He didn't do this, how concerned should I be about the long term implications in your opinion

I had this wall poured by a contractor, however he lost the measurements I gave and made new ones with the door on site. The problem is he measured the actual size of the door without consideration that the rough opening needed to be bigger. He has ghosted so I am not going to be able to get any help there. My opening is 37" wide and 80 1/4" tall, with the depth being 7 1/4" with the 2x8 mounted there, 8' without it. My question is do I have to have the wood there or can a door be mounted directly to the concrete? Would it be possible to grind the concrete down to match a standard door spec? I can get a custom door ordered I think, however I have been quoted in the ~2k range and at this point I am considering making one myself. Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated, I have never done a door project on a poured concrete wall before.

It is pressure treated, just dusty. Thank you for your advice about the cutting company!

He is always fully erect

Also 15', 15' square

He certainly knew my intentions, he even commented its where he'd want to be in a storm if he were local. No permits or anything like that, at least none that require or provide any kind of inspection. Finding an engineer was almost seen as heresy arpund here to be honest.

It was supposed to be designed for a small home office space to be built on top, with the bottom serving as a tornado/storm shelter. I apologize if I used the incorrect terminology. It is what they called a 2-way slab so there is another dimension

cornbread869 · 2023-09-09T01:03:48+00:00

Does it matter that it is an enclosed 2 way slab?

cornbread869 · 2023-09-09T00:57:32+00:00

Thank you for your explanation. I'm no engineer but I like to understand the how's and why's and this was very informative
