Method of forming monolithic footings and foundation walls

A wall forming apparatus for constructing monolithic concrete footings and walls of a building foundation which includes a plurality of relatively light-weight prefabricated wall forming panels connected together and positioned to form a plurality of opposing monolithic footing and wall forming units, each panel having an outer rigid framework from which an adjustable footing form depends, the opposing footing forms of the opposing footing and wall forming units being devoid of any structure extending directly therebetween, and the framework of each panel being constructed of sufficient rigidity and with sufficient cross-sectional dimensions so as to prevent canting and sagging of the footing and wall forming units formed by the panels when interconnected. Construction and proper placement of the integral footing and wall forming units is accomplished by placing the panels side-by-side on a flat surface and rigidly interconnecting the same at the adjacent upper and lower corners thereof, and thereafter hoisting each constructed footing and wall forming unit into desired position through the use of a crane or other suitable hoisting device.
