We are on the other side of a private bridge with seven "neighbors". The concrete truck would not cross it. I had to hand mix 166 80# sacks of concrete for the four primary piers. Fifty sacks in each of the high piers/columns, 33 into each of the lower piers/columns. All four started 5 feet in the ground (no metal cage - I hope that was not a mistake). Then I installed all of the support pipe and crossmembers, all the panels, conduit, electrical. I did all of the drawings, secured all permits, and received permission to turn it on. It has run flawlessly for 8 years now, I wish I had done it with a battery or two.
