It's definitely not easy to undertake this project in an area with not a whole lot of concrete companies especially during a building boom in the general area. I do not want to have to buy 100 80# bags, rent a mixer and hire someone to lift that many bags for me.

So far I have not been able to locate any short load companies within a few hours of my location. I have also been in touch with a few general contractors that have done work for me in the past, asking them to keep an eye out for anyone else that they are working for that is getting less than a full 10 yards delivered and maybe we can pool our resources. I figured I'd never know unless I asked. Getting the concrete from the truck on the road on the east side of the house the last 200' to the tower location adds another challenge. Approaching from the south side is 10' shorter but also 11' uphill. Sounds like a lot of fun with a wheelbarrow.

We got another 8 inches of snow yesterday so the yard is not in a condition to be doing anything about this yet regardless. Mother Nature is not done with her winter antics.
