That's cool, no I can envision it. Thanks. Makes total sense, and no, I
wasn't putting you on, I didn't have a clue. I asked a friend who I
think now should have known. He's owned two houses and done a ton of
work on each, including doing a foundation job on one, including pouring
concrete for a basement. He told me he loves to work with concrete, too.
I guess he did his ties without the benefit of this tool.
