Pier Forms

Today I cut up most of the timber and steel for the downstairs piers. I also attached blocks of timber to the pier liners to make them level. Now all I need to do is to cut holes in the pier lids for the columns, attach the side braces and post holder form supports. I also need to weld up the cages - which should be a lot simpler. I will probably need to brace the pier supports to make sure they remain vertical and tie the pier lids to the ground with more timber and star pickets.

Here is a picture of the completed column forms for upstairs:
