Spring / Summer backyard tower project

[Rob_Walker]

Concrete contractor was around this morning and the pour is on for this Thursday.  I've completed the brace around the perimeter of the tower to keep it suspended over the hole.  The 2 x 4 brace on the tower will sit on top of the 4' x '4 form around the hole.  Shims will be required to get the tower vertical and then I may secure the tower to my deck with a couple of 2 x 2 braces to keep it from shifting.  The tower has a slight taper on this section.  I'll tape a 1/4" spacer at the 22" mark on my level and this will give me the proper offset to get this section plumb.
