Its a shame all this is getting covered up!
What happens here
Once the rebar is in place, concrete is poured into the wooden forms. This is typically done using a wheelbarrow to transport the concrete from a mixer or delivery truck to the forms. The concrete is carefully dumped into the trench, ensuring it flows around and fully encases the rebar. A shovel is then used to spread the concrete evenly within the forms and to push it into any corners or tight spots.
Goal: Fill the footing forms with concrete
