Certainly not yer first rodeo, lol.

When you formed around the perimeter for the concrete, how did you do it butted up next to the current slab?  I'm looking into adding onto our house some day, it has a heated slab with 2" insulation around it, and am wondering how feasible it could be.

You have to dowel it to the other concrete pad.
you can see the 1/2" rod in the existing slab.

Did you drill and insert, or was it originally buried with the intent to add on?

Actually I thought about installing a single garage attached to the house with doors on both to split up my long ass driveway.

That way in the winter i can just park my car in there, not have to plow the entire driveway. Then in the summer i can just drive on through it.

You can't have them anymore. they're not environmentally safe if they're connected to a sewer line.
