Thanks again for your response. I really appreciate it.
I don't understand your description of the angles. I was thinking of 4
rods, 2 rows and 2 columns. I would put a vertical angle tying the two
rows together on each side of the anchor bolt group. This would be easy
to get concrete around. I hesitate on a horizontal angle because I think
there is too high a potential for a void somewhere. I may tie the two
vertical angles together with some flat bars. I would then wrap all of
this in a rebar cage for the pier.
You figured out my pattern for the email address. Actually, it's been a
while since I had to change addresses. I think they have done better at
deleting the spam off the server. I guess it now comes from harvesting
them from the archives. I occasionally change my email address to prevent
some of the spam.
