Boy that's some light reading, generally I like to see things a bit more technically oriented.

I know it! The 'Curious George goes to the movies' book my boys have has more depth than that did.

Actually I tried reading over it slowly and carefully and got a nosebleed and a weird eye twitch.

Fill to 6"s from the top and add the rest of the steel.
It does not have to be tied at the corners.
If you feel like adding more horizontal steel at the half way point or at any other level as you fill the hole, toss them in.

SO just how deep is this piers bottom going to be in realtion to how much is sticking above the ground?

---

I plan on doing the pier about 2' down If I can and then have it probaly three to three and a half above ground, so it will come just barely above my floor.

Its sunny and beautiful right now, Im trying to give the mud a little bit of time to get some sun since it rained all day and most of the night here before I start digging on my hole again.

um.

Does my box have to be beautiful and perfect?
I just noticed that its not exactly perfectly touching on all sides. Theres a tiny gap here and there where the wood weve bought isnt exactly straight.

Once I anchor it in and have it level, it will be good enough to form a square. Anyone see a problem with that?

I dont think theres enough of a gap for anyhting to leak out, but you can see the gap nonetheless.
