Need some holes dug and filled with quickrete... Your choice, cash or ammo?

[alnen]

The job is to dig 18 28" holes using a 2 man auger, removing the loose dirt, then placing quickrete tubes and filling them with quickrete. The next part is to place a pressure plate or bolt for pressure plate on top, I haven't decided which yet. It will be important to align them and make sure they're level. After that, I'll just need you guys to carry the lumber needed to build a 16x12' deck from the driveway to the deck site, which is about 50 yards downgrade. I've got it from that point.

Your help is greatly appreciated, and I'll need 2 odt'rs for the job (you'll each get $200). I can also pay in 9mm if you'd rather have that (800 rounds of factory brass case). Your choice. Thanks!

Quickrete 50# bags mixed on site. I've got a couple 5 gallon buckets, a water hose, and a drill so one can stir while the other adds concrete. I don't have a bit that stirs, but can look at picking one up.

I think you may have misunderstood me. I'm not for the type of hole that costs that kind of money, lol. And if it was, I assure you that I wouldn't be trying to hire from a board of dudes, lol.

What I'm talking about it is good old fashioned manual yard work labor. About 30-60 seconds of holding onto the bucking broncho, working it up and down, then moving on to the next hole. Then, after all holes have been reamed, you gotta clean them out. I guess I can see where the confusion came from, lol.

Most deck holes have to be 24 inches deep. That’s what I dug mine too, codes and all

Sounds like two young guys, and plenty of supervision if you want the top of the tubes all level with each other. One of those laser leveling devices would probably be worth having.

When I was younger I would have jumped on that for $200. Not sure most young people today would be capable.

Where I came from they had to be 48" deep lol

dig 18 28"

I cringed at that, then I realized you must mean deep. Had to dig over fifty holes 24" wide and 24" deep a few years back. Takes a bit in Georgia clay!
