Putting in a Fence Post

Step 1 -
Digging the Hole

(this is a lot harder then they make it look. The bit alone weighs in at 30 lbs...then you add the machinery and the dirt and gravity...)
(hole had to be 28 inches or so deep)
Step 2 -
Put gravel/small rocks in hole


Step 3 -
Place post in hole and determine placement in regards to post before and post after
Step 4 -
Pour already wet cement into hole all around base of post. We used 80lb bags per post, those suckers aren't going to come out very easily.

Step 5-
Insure Post is level. When cement has been all poured in then fill in with dirt. pack down and again, be sure the post is level.
Step 6 -
Put in rails



Ta da...they make it look so easy don't they.
