I bought plastic pipe to use as plinth forms. I figured they would have paper ones, but they offered these plastic underground pipes instead as plinth forms. *shrugs* Why not I guess, these are much more sturdy and I won't have to worry about the paper dissolving from ground moisture. So I can bury and align everything and not having any stress about it.

I got a laser level but still find myself using a lot of string, just makes it easy to see. Laser is good for double checking.

All six are down and aligned, the outermost ones I've cast feet straight into the ground for as the roof pillars will rest on those. They are also aligned differently, the inner ones will come lower down.

The last one took me a while because two large frogs had jumped down the hole and were stuck there it seemed, so I had to try and fish them out so I could carry them off to the woods. Would be pretty cruel to just cast concrete over them. I guess they were looking for moisture as it was 29C outside and pretty dry. Hosed them off and put them in dense foliage in the woods where it should be wetter.
