[* black] The image shows the cut list for the foundation module. You can also link to it and print it out [https://docs.google.com/a/opensourceecology.org/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0ArNBTd6xfT7MdGhhRVdVeVR0UHp3c25pZThqOTVUcWc#gid=0|here]
[* black] Cut the 2x10 boards to the lengths shown in Image 1 or on the cut list in the link above.
[* black] Also cut 12 pieces of all-thread to 18" in length. These will be positioned through the forms as shown in Image 2. The all-thread will go at the 1/3 points on each side of the module. This means at the 4' and 8' points along each wall, you will drill 5/8" holes halfway up the height of your form boards to feed the all-thread through.
+[* black] ***What is the function of the all-thread?***
[* black] Make 14 wooden stakes about 20" long - this is a great way to put your scrap end cuts from other projects to good use! You can also use metal stakes that are specifically made for retaining concrete forms.
[* black] ***NOTE! If your overlap of the outside form board on the foundation module you are connecting to is not exactly 3 1/2", then the 6' 5" board will not come out to the right length.***
