If we had the tools and the time, I honestly wouldn't mind hackin and bashing and something. Unfortunately we don't, and investing in one will only end up in more storage space in the end.


Got a name and number to your dad's company?

so I guess what they're charging a lot for then is the cementing and digging, I don't think all that is a few grand though, and also there isn't much to spend in materials on this type of job it's about $200+ roughly for disposal fees, and anywhere between $500 and $1000 in materials, so basically you're paying 5-6 grand on labor, which is a tad bit high especially when the majority of the labour is not that difficult, like I said took me a few hours myself to do

that's my honest answer to you since I'm in this business
