440: Now that we like the location of the gazebo, it's time to pour some footers so the wind wont take it away.  First we move it out of the way a few feet and scribed some lines.  We removed  the bricks, and dug a three foot deep hole.

441: We tried to get about two bags of concrete in each hole.  We sunk a three foot piece of 3/8 stainless threaded rod in each hole.   We put washers and a nut on  the bottom to keep it from pulling through the concrete.
