Am trying to get my LM70 back in the air...... have the concrete mount ears 
made and ready, however #10 rebar is not to be found  in my local area....will 
have to be orderd out of Atlanta for $200.00 per 20 feet....however the steel 
distributor says why not use "Cold Rolled Steel"...??
 Says 1.250 inch CRS is much stronger than #10 rebar and it only costs $148.00 
per 20 foot stick...He says its hard to weld rebar properly without weakening 
the joint, that's why they wire most of it....where as CRS is easy to weld 
without any weakening of the joint....

Why use rebar..is it because of the spiral wrap whic give the rebar a added 
locking strength...??
