The pics here are the outer boards just used for a 1.5” spacer; plan to put the form boards against these & remove these spacer boards afterwards

But after looking hard at it....wondering if it’s gonna be a peckerhead getting concrete all around the post & to the outside that 1.5”

Could have the concrete just inside the 6x6’s & then use solid cement blocks between the 6x’s all the way around, as when garage is let down to resting point, it will be bolted back to the 6x’s to hold in place.

Thought’s and any other idears welcome

Or either delete the concrete from going to outside of 6x posts & risking breaking off that piece....

I know there’s plenty ways to skin this puss

High level, 1.5” is not going to be enough cover on the outside of those columns. That **** is going to crack and ultimately break off.

The 5/8” bolts are currently holding the structure suspended until the concrete is finished & drys 5-6 weeks.
