Happy Labor Day!



I hope everyone had a good labor day. Even though it is a US holiday, I think the world is full of hard working people. I spent the day with a friend working on his new front porch. We finished the forms for the concrete. Hopefully the concrete will be placed by Weds. I've attached a picture of the footer strategy we're using. Typical double rebar wired to vertical stabilizers. The forms are 2x6's connected with pocket screws. It creates a strong joint without the hassle of toenailing nails. It takes a little longer to cut the pocket holes, but with a Kreg jig, it is really easy to get good results.
