Well got the holes dug and all according to the Town By-laws...sweated my balls off doing that. Now!..I had to hand mix the pre-mixed concrete to put in the Sono tubes that were in the holes. Do you know how many 66lb bags it takes to fill four 48"X12" holes? Well it takes 24 bags..all mixed by hand in a wheel barrow on a sloping hill. Shit I'm 60 friggen years old and stubborn as an mule. Do it by hand and save a few bucks. Well did it and it's done. A couple of the posts are off center but close enough that it won't matter once the beams go on the 6x6 posts. Had enough time left to install the header board an bolt it to the wall. Really glad I bought that hammer drill when it was on for 60% off at CTC. Told you I was cheap. So tomorrow it's set the posts, build the beams, and start building this damn thing. Oh BTW the Supervisor helped out a bit, brought out water and held the odd piece of lumber. I'll make better use of her tomorrow.
