[TowerTalk] Tower Base and rebar

[Lee]

I have to disagree.   The first thing that should be in the bottom of the
hole is gravel!   You must allow for proper drainage.

Then a simple wood form to suspend the wire frame will do just nicely.
Or as stated, you can just work it down into the halfway poured hole.

I have never heard of not allowing concret to fall more than 4 feet.   we
pour 12 foot holes every day with a suspended cage and never had a
problem.
