    10 years of my life summed up in a phrase. We didn’t only do concrete, but my crew was the best at it so we had any of the jobs that came up.

  Hell yeah just put that concrete mix in the ground it’s wet enough (we actually did that)

    as someone who has removed 40 dry pour fence posts, fuck dry pour. it’s fucking lazy and you’re fucking the dude that has to pull the plugs later.

    properly mix your concrete, it’s not hard with a machine.

      As someone who’s done the same, eh, you have the machine anyways, and maybe you live in a drier place? Because they more or less come out in a single chunk, or if not, soft enough that the auger won’t shirk at it.

      We have pretty clay forward soil, so you can even just back fill and tamp it with the dirt you took out. Frost fucks with everything anyways.

        out of the 40 posts I pulled 10 of them came out 100%.

        the rest had to be dug out. each post had one thing in common. failure to bond. they all broke off just after the first 2 feet below grade. when I dug the bottoms out, it was all powder. those posts had been sitting there for 20 years, so there’s literally no other reason why the bottoms failed to cure other than they dry poured.

        mixing and pouring would have saved me more time than the last guy saved by doing it wrong the first time.

      I’m not going to pay for the machine from my own money for some shit I do for work for a company. Next guy is just going to have to deal with it lok

        For us it’s water access, and not every farmers fence needs concrete either.

        fuck your cheap ass company for not doing it right.

        I get not paying for it out of your own pocket though.
