Re: SB: How do I?

Jenny,


I had to do the same thing for a perimeter foundation with six steps 
down the slope of the lot.  I drove a piece of rebar into the trench off 
to the side where it is out of the way of the main part of the 
foundation.  I used a transit to set the height of the top of the rebar 
to the height of the pour (hitting the rebar down with a sledgehammer 
was easier than pulling it back up when I went too far:-)  I painted the 
tops of each pin bright orange so i could find them after they were 
covered with concrete.  I also marked the dirt next to each pin so I 
knew where to look for them under the wet concrete. I used one about 
every ten feet or so.  Worked for me.  Hope this helps.
