I uploaded the pictures to my website and linked the image path to them from here. I will have to do some probing it looks like. If there are footers under the planters, but not under the slab, will I be able to drill into the footers under the planters and put some rebar in there then when I pour my new patio slab it will have the rebar support? Also should it be an actual slab on the front porch or just a foundation 24" wide by "X" deep and then use TJI's for the joists to bring it up to it's current height, then my flooring? 100 ideas and only 1 budget.
