Only one story, no attic or 2nd floor. so the slab cut out & large wall opening must be for the entrance to the below ground bunker? ie why not a simple rectangular slab?
Ha, bunker sounds like a nice dog house. That will be the bathroom oregon. It will be poured separate and will be a sloping floor to a floor drain. And stubbed in then. I was too paranoid being responsible for the anchor bolt locations to be concerned with pouring a sloped floor. The metal work is simple enough to complete myself. I hope. After bath is poured and it's walls up the whole inside of the building will be sprayed with 2 inches of closed cell foam insulation. They quoted $1.50/sq ft.for 2 inches.

Unfortunately, not overly educated engineers and programs that just spit out answers is going to be a problem going forward. I noticed it at the end of my career. Folks ran with the generated numbers and got into trouble. All it takes is one wrong entry, and the resulting value can be off. An experienced, well-trained engineer knows what values should be coming out and can spot mistakes and then go back and check his input. The less than experienced, I want to be "vice-president in a year" don't have time for checking their own work, the computer gave me a number so let's run with it. One of my first tasks out of school was routing Electrical Cable Tray through a Power Plant. This was way before 3D models. You had to look at lots of drawings to find access routes through Steel, Piping, vessels, etc. It was the dang cross bracing that gave me the most trouble. It was easy to miss the vertical and horizontal steel. The dang members at angles not so much. It paid to be friends with the Structural engineers. I was working construction and at one point I decided I wanted to become an Architect. I told my adviser I had worked on jobs where the drawings had too much stuff jammed into too narrow of a space, that I wanted to work as a tinner etc. so my work wouldn't have those kinds of errors in them. He said "That's daffy! It is the job of the workers out in the field to solve those problems." That is when I decided that profession was not for me. The computer apparently interprets tight access spots. No complaints from the workers. Chevrolet Monza V8 - the engine had to be lifted to replace the starter motor - grrrr. Keel that engineer dayd

As long as they are reliable. I recently bought a used Toyota Tundra with low miles. Paid big. Darn engine ran good but was cooked. $4000 to replace with low mile junkyard engine. Risky. Seems to run fine. Be cautious buying a new beater !!

Life's enigmas... Front tire removal not so bad 1dave. But strange for sure. If you have to remove the oil pan to R&R carb it is time to be concerned.

It could be worse. Like mohs says, "the radio works"!

Keel that engineer dayd My Chrysler Sebring has to have the right front wheel removed to replace the battery! I recently replaced the battery in my Hyundai Elantra GT. Took 45 minutes. No fooling around, no excuses. That's how long it took with knowledge tools and need. Earlier this year, jeannie had a knee replaced. Took the surgeon 40 minutes.
