The 1/2 inch steel rebar, formed to fit the tower hole, is ready for cage construction.

The tent over the tower hole prevents moisture from destroying the 3.5 ft square hole's side walls.

The rebar cage is constructed by weaving the 144 rods together using 16 ga. steel wire at each junction point.

The cage will "float" in the concrete base, unconnected to any grounding sources to prevent explosion of the base on a direct lightning hit.
