alright day two and job nearly complete. pic 1 is where we left off yesterday. today we cut the rail on the right side that was bent and replaced it with a straight piece. then we set the other angle steel on the right there making sure it was level or nearly so. then we cut plywood to anchor to the sides for the concrete form. next we made some more stakes for the rebar and added the rebar and secured it with the rebar strap wire thingys. handy little gadget. wood handle with a swivel hook. you put the wire around the intersection of rebar, put the tool on the two eyelets of wire, move your hand in a circle motion and your done. go to the next one. then after we finished that we mixed and poured 11 bags of concrete and formed it in. total job time: 10hrs.

when the concrete cures we'll then remove the plywood forms and then sand down the steel and paint it.
