Then he used his tow motor to unload...
Leaving Jim with the sheathing, lumber and posts!
Jim used the Bobcat to smooth out the gravel pile left from making the concrete and then moved up the sheathing and lumber to get it off the grass.
Before Jim could work on the posts, he first had to clean out the front holes after the rain washed dirt into them.
Jim had to come up with a way to place these posts by himself. The biggest ones for the corners and next to the garage door are 6" x 6" and probably weigh at least 150 pounds each! The other ones are 4" x 6" so not much better!
He used some of our old toe boards to make some cross braces that he attached to the pole...
Once he got it lifted, he was able to slowly lower it into the hole...
Check out this perfect placement! Of course, this is after about 2 hours of work! Jim had to get it in the right position which required yet more crumbing the dirt to get everything in the right position, leveling it, dining in dirty, compacting it and bracing it.
Two posts up!
End of the day - 3 posts in place, a doable system worked out and it looks great!
