Great project and nice work (esp. on the base - that was worth the work it took - looks fantastic!)

One thing. You said: "I didn't use gravel, just sand and concrete". What I'm think you meant to say was "I didn't use gravel, just sand and cement". An engineer should know better! :-D

And yes, I know I'm nit-picking! Its what I do... ;-)

To clarify these frequently misused terms we're all guilty of mixing-up (pardon the pun) for everyone: 'concrete' is the end product produced by mixing 'cement' (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portland_cement) with aggregate (generally a mix of sand and gravel or variations thereon - though other materials can be used, for example, papercrete is made with pulped fiber - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Papercrete).

Again, very nice project Matthew!
