Don't push the bars into the dirt and pour concrete around them. Rebar exposed to the moist dirt will begin to corrode, which will then wick up into the concrete, further corroding reinforcing, making the steel swell and crack the concrete, etc. It might take a long time, but keep to the 2" cover rule and it will likely last foreve. -------------------- - david 8"Ø Newtonian on SVP, Moonlite CR2, Telrad PST Oberwerk Ultra 15x70 Orion Ultraview 10×50 Hand-me-down Sears Refractor (Discoverer) 60mm×900mm "What we have done for ourselves alone dies with us; what we have done for others and the world, remains and is immortal." --Albert Pike Post Extras       Entire thread Subject Posted by Posted on WidowMaker's observatory project under way!
