That actually makes sense. Concrete guy will be doing rebar for the entire patio (since the patio is being extended about 16x20), with either tighter rebar and/or extra rebar as well a thicker slab in that 6x8 corner. I believe they were going to have to dig anyways since we have to pull out some sprinkler heads that are currently in the space of the the area being extended. I’ll get hubs to reach out about putting the drainage gravel underneath; I’m sure they’d understand since we’re sourcing the same guys who poured out foundation slab for our house last year. Thanks so much Matt! I know we’d have to wait roughly 2 weeks after they pour before we can start loadbearing on the concrete; but hey, we’re waiting for things to ship in and source the materials in the meantime…. And build the first fire pit 
If anything, we’ll prob just drill into the concrete to put the rebar in (once I can get the hubs to figure out his pizza oven vision) since I saw elsewhere in the forum to try to use 18" rebar as I was scrolling for some answers. Definitely pictures also! As it’ll be a pretty big project we’re taking ourselves on as hubs want both the pizza oven and brickwood box, and I want a separate firepit first as I saw the box is quite a lengthy project.
