Title of the message:
Pouring step down footing for shed

Text of the message:
Hi all,
I'm designing a 12x20 ft. shed in the backyard of a sloped lot.
Restrictive covenants require a masonry foundation, so I'll probably
pour a continous footing (i.e. - 8"x16"). My question is how to form
the step down portion (since I want to keep the foundation wall height
to a minumum)?
Can I form it up with plywood and 2x and do a continuous pour - not
sure if the mix will stay in the vertical portion or if it will flow to
the lower section? I would rather use a ready mix truck, but I may have
to rent a mixer as the truck may not be able to get to the backyard.
Couple more questions:
If I have to mix myself, what is the longest set time I can get so I
don't have to be in a hurry (i.e. admixtures)?
Can I cut a keyway in case I want to end up pouring a stemwall instead
of doing block, or do I definitely need to decide this upfront?
I will check codes with the county, but I'm not sure a permit is
