	Step 1: Gather the tools required, trim the Bigfoot, cut your tube, clean tube edge, screw tube to Bigfoot base. You're on your way! Watch Step 1 Movie length: 1 minute, 20 seconds
	Step 2: Place the footing form in the excavation, place earth around the base, backfill, then fill with concrete. You're done! Watch Step 2 Movie length: 1 minute, 2 seconds
	Tip 1: Using a utility knife, remove any fraying on the edge of the sono tube that will connect to the Bigfoot. Watch Tip 1 Movie length: 13 seconds
