    I can get smartbits if enough people want them but i will have to buy a box to keep the cost down .. I would do through ebay to keep it safe and simple and estimate a posted cost of $37.50 PM if interested so i can check if there are enough people to cover buying a box

    Cheers utemad

    The deck is being built on sandstone.
    The engineer has specified concrete piers ( 400 x 400 x 300). Where the sandstone is exposed I am considering chemsetting the stirrups to the sandstone.
    How would this compare in strength to that of the piers?
