Are you sure this is enough cement?


So we started filling the hole...and filling and filling. 48 inches deep and 12+ inches in diameter takes a lot to fill.

					Here go the first shovel-fulls. Erik has the vibrator under control.

		With a little cement in the bottom, we set the rebar cage in place. It was a fine piece of engineering. Click here to see it before installation.

					Finally we had it somewhat full and then I ran out of cement. Quick trip to Lowe's for another ten bags. We're almost done.

		We set the J-bolt fixture in place and finished the fill. Here is a picture of the fitxture the night before. Those are 1" diameter stainless steel monsters in there. This should last at least a week!
	960 lbs of cement, a few gallons of water and some wood for forms. The pier is poured.
