This is a question for recent builders. Do you think we need to mention putting straps around the hearth forms to hold them straight? The original theory was to keep the concrete from bowing out the form, but is that really a problem?
In line with my new "keep it simple" approach (we've deleted the aluminum flashing and pour the same day references), should we eliminates the straps?
Worst case, is that you can use a 2"x4" on the diagonal to hold the form rigid.
Let me know what you all think.
