Hey Max, often during the concrete placement the bolts get pushed around. Good finishers will hold them or straighten them as they go. Then you should wait about an hour or more to remove the anchor mates so you don’t mess them up while removing the nails. If you have crooked bolts after the pour wait a few days for the concrete to cure and then take a 3/4” piece of black pipe and you can straighten the bolts by bending them. Don’t hit them with a hammer or you’ll damage the threads. Hope that helps.

Hey Jesse Thanks for the videos I was curious about your experience with these blue anchor bolt holders~ is it a pain if they all don’t come out plumb and even? How do you work the sill plate on in that case? You got a lot of cool projects up here! Are you doing most of the disciplines yourself? Keep it up Happy 4th
