Guys,

Do you vibrate your footers?  Planning on 12x24 form-a-drain (or 2x4 with fab form), 2 #4 horizontal bars.  I think that with the depth and width of the footers vibration would not be necessary.  What do you all think?

I don't vib footings, but I do have the battery Makita model handy if necessary to get around steel. 2 bars shouldn't cause issues.

If you a pouring a cheaper "chute mix" keep the vibe at the ready.
If your are buying a "pump mix" consolidation will be much better.
Keep the vibe handy always :-)

If you saw the mass of rebar when I have to do footings you would shake your head in amazement...I have to consolidate

Speaking of concrete vibrators...when yours needs service don't ask you wife to take it to the repair shop. My wife walked in and asked the guy behind the counter if he could fix her vibrator...embarrassing moment for both when the tool repair guy finaaly looked in the back of her vehicle to get it out and started laughing
