What happens here

Concrete mix is prepared in a large tub using water and a shovel. The mixed concrete is then scooped into the Sonotube forms, filling them to the top. While the concrete is still wet, adjustable post anchors are inserted into the center of each footing. A level is used to ensure the anchors are perfectly plumb, and string lines are checked to confirm correct alignment. Wooden stakes are temporarily installed to hold the anchors in place while the concrete cures.

Goal: Concrete is mixed and poured into the Sonotube forms, and adjustable post anchors are carefully set into the wet concrete, ensuring they are level and properly aligned with the string lines.

What they say

our footing get our level [Music] was good most important part here is making sure that anchor is leveled here and we're going to run a string across to make sure that it lines up with that area on the back cuz we don't want this thing to be all scattered and sted staggered we don't want it to be staggered on us oh all right so we have a nice tight string going from the back of the bracket so this will ensure that when we put our boards running across it's not going to be staggered or swaying any direction so nice straight line or equal distances within an e of an inch away from the building which is fan freaking tastic and last and foremost we are making sure our footing is balanced right there okay I got one more pour I'll save you guys the hassle of watching me let it dry overnight and we'll be ready to Boogie
