That bit always goes quick! Same with putting up a house.

Internals always seem to take ages.

Who's putting it up for you?

Shed company local to here make all the legs different lengths. They pour the bases roughly, then measure from stringlike down to each base and make each leg unique to suit.

We do most of ours that way. But don’t measure down from string line !,!!!!
Laser every base back to Finished floor level

They have them all on steel spacers just now to allow them to rock the stations I think. It will also allow grout into the cones when the time comes. Not sure if they will be removed or not. Holes will be concreted up to floor level.

Edit- Looked at picture closer. The stick is just lying there it is not under steel.
