   What diameter are the pier pads?

   Asking because I have a couple of metal pouring rings with handles I no longer have a use for if you are interested. I don't know what you use for forming those pads.

   Mine are 24"

   We use these plastic pier boxes that are square before you place concrete in them and then they become 24" diameter piers.  Thanks for the offer.

   OK, just a thought . I got them when we used to use felt stapled into a ring as a liner for these metal rings. Pour one , pour the second while another guy gently lifts the ring and sets for the third. More outdated technology of mine.

   Tim, do you use any kind of termite barrier between the foundation and mud sill?  Or are the little buggers not a problem in your area?

   That was fun.  Why did it have to end?

   Jim,

   Thanks for the comments.  I was hoping you'd stop by.

   I'm going to check out every one of your albums. Great idea Tim.How much storage do you have and how much does it cost you each month? Bob's next test date: 12/10/07

   Storage as in shop or yard?  About 8 years ago we built a 3 car garage with a 1200sq ft apartment on top and on the same property about 1 1/2 years later, we built a "model home".

   I used to live above the garage and next to it is where we have an old trailer and keep the foundation supplies. 

   So to answer your question, I have no idea what it costs :-) but it is about 5 minutes from most of our jobs.

   Duh just how out of it am I?!  :-)

    

   Picasa gives a gig of storage free.  Pretty slick.  There is some small print about the pictures though, which I didn't read at the time and learned later.  So you might want to check that out.
