Sometimes it is best to back into the correct answer... The suppliers
are going to charge me for 5 yards of concrete in my area whether I use it or not... The other choice is to mix it myself. John Ferrell W8CCW "Life is easier if you learn to plow around the stumps" It was about the same around here. I only wanted about a yard and where I wanted it a truck could not get in very easy. Had 50 bags (90 lb bags) delivered for around $ 300. Then rented a mixer for about $ 40. Spent about 6 hours transporting the bags with my riding lawnmower and cart about 150 feet to the tower hole and mixing it up and then cleaning the mixer. I did have water and electricity at the hole. Only put one bag in the mixer at a time as that was all I thought I could handle by myself. Used 43 bags in the tower and spent another part of a day putting the other bags in holes and pipes for the guy wires. It would have been cheeper to just get a load delivered and much faster, but just could not get a truck back there and I just could not see wheelborrowing it to the hole . |
