Hole digger

[beertestr]

Looking for a guy to dig (10) 10" holes 4' deep. (Pole barn style shed) Wondering if renting a 2-man auger makes sense or hiring it out..

If you are pouring concrete, call Sal and he will dig it and pour it.

if you dont have a tractor, i would pay to have it done. we did them at my parents with their bigger kubota tractor, and it would still take a min to get down.

Mike, I did this with a cousin recently. We dug exactly 10 post holes for a fence, 4ft deep, and it took 2 hrs with a 2 man auger.
It helps to have a strong helper though (i.e. strong knees and back). Tractor auger would make it too easy. lol.

There is a guy who advertises on CL who will dig holes for $10 each ( i think). He may charge more for that large though.

Yeah, its the second body I don't have right now. I'm not wrestling a 1 man auger to do these holes.

I'll check that out. Thanks.

Geoff, thanks for the tip with Sal. I'm just pouring post footings now and will do the floor in the spring. That's the working plan now. I will know more after this weekend. Wife and I agreed on the location and orientation, I need to mark the hole locations. If the weather cooperates I may try to level the hillside a bit and see if I need fill to make this work. I chose post/beam construction based on not needing a slab to frame and roof.

Call a rental company like 9 mile rental and see if they have one of those walk behind augers... it would take no time at all to dig 10 holes out

Just say when and I'll be there, and bring a third helper to make things easier.

I just double checked with the city and they downgraded to 10x12 for no permit or rat wall. I now need a permit and 24" rat wall.... this just got more complicated.
