WELCOME BAAAACK to The Astrocast! Thanks for joining us! This week, Roo takes you through the journey of last weekends EPIC pouring of the pier! He tells you all about the experience, gives some tips and tricks to make it an easier experience for you, and also explains WHY you would want to build a pier in the first place!If you'd like to see photos of the finished Pier (minus good cable management, of course!) check out our FB page here!The crucial things you need to build your own pier? 10 bags of quikcrete, a concrete mixer, a couple 2x4's, 4 long bolts (12 inches or more) along with nuts/bolts to level them with (see photos), 2 steel plates to mount your mount to, and a conrete mixer you can rent!
