Batter boards - 4 per corner

Made batter boards Sunday from 2x4's and rebar. Cut 24" rebar into 8" pieces, drilled 5" deep holes (1/2" round) into ends of 2x4's and then hammered the rebar into the 2x4's. On site, I will drill 4" deep holes in bedrock and drop rebar'd boards into hole.

Not very straight despite actually trying to be straight, but in theory that is ok since I will use builder's level to identify point to level the crosspiece and attach string. Think I will use the 4 boards per corner pattern (see image from www.cedarshed.com below), not the 3 board pattern shown in a prior post.
