Finally got back to the tower!

Got the base of the hole leveled out, added some gravel and put the concrete blocks in to support the rebar and the Ufer ground.

I'll need to pick up (read: already have) some more rebar (didn't have enough stock the first time) and probably wait a day or two, expecting rain tomorrow and I really do not feel like working, in a hole, in the rain.

Painted out the rough dig zones (with conduit trenches), for the utilities to come out and make sure we aren't about to strike a gas line (we aren't).

Backhoe is coming next Monday!
This is happening.

First major milestone! First item checked off the org todo list. All materials acquired, just waiting on that backhoe. Only $1180 in so far.... oh jeebus.

So guess what. It's tower time here.

More details to come in this thread.
