Set up your batter board strings to represent the outside face of the slab. At each corner, drop a plumb line from the intersecting strings to the bottom of the trench, then drive a 2x4 stake at this point. Using the plumb bob again, drive a nail into the top of the stake where the plumb bob touches it. Attach strings between the stakes. Using the strings as guides, drive the 2x4 form stakes around the trench perimeter, spaced on 2 foot centers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e4. Attach the form boards to the stakes with double-headed nails. Make sure the stakes are on the outside of the boards and flush with or below them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e5. Use 2x4 stakes to brace the corners of the forms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e6.

Spread or pour concrete with a rake or hoe, compacting it gently into the footing areas. Use a shovel to move concrete into footing trench.

Move the board in a side-to-side motion as you pull it towards you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e8. Use finishing tools, such as a bull float and trowel, to smooth the concrete surface.
