Kent-

We kept our foundation covered with burlap for about a week and then opened it up. The sprinkle
treatment is generally for slab rather than a foundation.
Part schedule, part overabundance of caution, waited 2 months to hang the tower. 90 foot AN Wirless.
Up about 7 years with nary a problem.

Good Luck, we're all counting on you!

Hi All

I'm ready to pour the concrete for the foundation of my US Tower
HDX-572MDPL. The foundation plans call for a 28 day cure of the concrete. I
have seen others say that you need to spray water on the foundation 3 times
a day as well as keep it covered with burlap for the curing process. Does
the foundation need to be sprayed for the 28 days or can I stop at some
point in the process? The reason for asking is I am going on vacation about
halfway through the 28 days. I can get my neighbor to spray it for me but
would rather not.
