I took off today and ordered a yard and a half of concrete to be delivered. I couldnt find my camera, so here's a text update:
I had 6 holes, about 2 feet in diameter, 30" deep. This calculates to roughly 2 yards if i was filling them up. I ordered 1.5 yards to save some money (333$) and filled them all most of the way up. They all have about 18" of concrete or more on them, depending on the slope. the hole with lowest elevation gets more concrete, ya dig?
I ordered a 3,000 lb mix, which means it can withstand 3000 psi before it'll crush. I poured it wet, and floated it down to make the surface "rough smooth.' I just cut up a piece of 2x4 about 18" long and did this by hand.
Next step..frame-up!
