Update, yep there's rebar Finished up a couple weeks ago but wanted to update for those who asked. Thank you for all the words of encouragement and some great advice. Also thank you to everyone who neglected to actually read my last post before they commented and told me to add rebar (exactly like I said I was going to do), was entertaining to see just how many people posted about that. [https://www.reddit.com/r/landscaping/comments/1kp7w9b/amateur\_so\_cant\_post\_to\_rconcrete\_truck\_coming/?utm\_source=share&utm\_medium=web3x&utm\_name=web3xcss&utm\_term=1&utm\_content=share\_button](https://www.reddit.com/r/landscaping/comments/1kp7w9b/amateur_so_cant_post_to_rconcrete_truck_coming/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button) Thanks to Reddit I added a ton more stakes before we poured, made sure everyone helping me with the concrete had a very good idea of the plan, focused some energy on keeping the splash off the siding, and we oiled the forms really well. It was definitely a risk doing it with five people without much experience, but we had juuuust enough to make it work. If I had hired someone I would have had comments but since I was my own GC I can tell myself to go \_\_\_ \_\_\_\_\_\_. Also gotta throw a shout out to the guy who delivered our concrete, he was very patient with our amateur asses and laughed with us quite a bit. Appreciate the help and hope this might inspire or help someone else. Originally by u/obpoloqdo on Reddit: https://tinyurl.com/239z8ouj
