What happens here

While the main foundation is being poured, additional work is done for the deck footings. Workers are shown digging circular holes in the ground for these footings. Cardboard sonotubes (circular concrete forms) are placed into these holes. The presenter uses a shovel to ensure the sonotubes are properly positioned and spaced according to the plans. These sonotubes are then filled with concrete, likely using the same pump system, to create solid, cylindrical piers that will support the deck structure.

Goal: Separate footings for a future deck are prepared by digging holes, placing cardboard sonotubes, and filling them with concrete.
