ABSTRACT:
A footing/foundation form with an integral drain having two substantially parallel spaced apart, serpentuitous walls. Each wall includes a plurality of hollow tubes elevated "to grade" above an excavation bottom by a stake and clip mechanism with gravel filled between the elevated tubes and the excavation bottom such that the elevated tube and gravel both engage concrete poured between the walls. The tubes are common 10-foot PVC tubes with a plurality of holes positioned away from the footing/foundation thereby providing the form with an integral drain. The stakes are preferably pieces of reinforcing bar and the clips, while quite effective, are also inexpensively manufactured.
