That would be close to impossible here. You can hardly ever dig that deep here. You’d be rock hammering for months.

Have to so here, when my brother built his house they had a D-8 with a single shank ripper to break up the rock, and excavators with hammers are frequently used.
It makes absolutely no sense to me, if you are solidly situated on bed rock it shouldn't require a footing deeper then that.
The stated reasoning is that the bottom of the footer is to be below the frost depth so as to eliminate frost heaving,
when you get to actual bed rock I don't believe that is an issue.
But building codes are not written or enforced by individuals with actual knowledge.

I agree with the last part. Frost heaving isn’t much if any concern here. My work had to be inspected and passed.

Every board serves the same purpose. They’re both house with garage footings. The houses sadly aren’t 4 sided rectangles is the point of all the ditches.
