We started setting the tire bales in place using the lines and squares Steve had drawn on the ground as a guide. We put the forks on the skid steer for this.

We noticed that there were gaps between the bales even though they were lined up right. When they are pushed together, they don't measure the 5 feet they need to according to the blueprints. We could stuff mud or cans in the void between the bales but we decided to add two additional tires, side by side, between the bales.

A push with the forks was needed to get them close together.
