HERE IS THE COMPLETED FOOTING READY FOR CONCRETE. BECAUSE OF
THE WIDTH OF THE FOOTING WE USE THREE CONTINOUS PIECES OF REBAR,
AND POUR THE CONCRETE LEVEL TO THE TOP OF THE REBAR THAT HAS
BEEN DRIVEN INTO THE GROUND. IT IS IMPORTANT NOT TO LET THESE GRADE STAKES MAKE CONTACT WITH THE REST OF THE STEEL. IF IT DOES, ALL
THE STEEL IN THE FOOTING COULD RUST OUT. IT IS ALSO WHY THE
REBAR CHAIRS IN THE PHOTO ABOVE HAVE PLASTIC FEET.
