<p class="p__0">While the rain has kept us from doing any excavations, we have actually kept hectic doing a little prep work. We cut some posts and cross beams for the batter boards. Those will be increasing as soon as the ground dries a little bit more. We've also been producing some wire dobies for when we lay the rebar for the footings.</p>

<p class="p__1">if you need the rebar three inches off the ground, get cups that are 3 inches high) A scrap wooden board Wire cutters An x-acto knife All total, these products cost me about $14. There are 50 cups in the plan so this will make 50 dobies. For comparison, the big box shops sell a pack of 100 plastic rebar chairs for $60.</p>
<br>
<p class="p__2">Not too shoddy. We explore a couple ways of doing this. For the first approach, we began by cutting a hole in the top of the cups. Place the cups upside down on the wood board and sealed the bottoms with modeling clay. The wire is bent into a long narrow "U" shape.</p>

The seal can and will break and concrete will go all over. Do not do it. It's messy and not the good type of unpleasant.</p>
<br>
<p class="p__5">Congratulations. This method worked well, but we have a lot of dobies to make. After numerous batches the clay began to get cement in it and it became difficult to deal with. So we got lazy, er, creative. Yeah, that's it. We simply stuck the wire through the bottom of the cup and put the cement in.</p>
