... I knew we were in for a ride when my excavator told me that we were not only going to cut the hole on Friday, but we were going to set the iron and pour the footing that afternoon...
Do you have to have your footings inspected before pouring the mud? Do you need a permit to build in your area? I've never seen a foundation that could pass an inspection without the inspector being able to see into the hole. Some will actually measure how deep and wide it is, but most just look and say that's fine.
