  • Time isn’t the only factor, water may not be available, if it’s a colder place, you need to keep it heated all day while you work. Dry bonded concrete works, if you’re replacing all the posts, it doesn’t sound like it’s only because a few failed, because you would just replace those ones. It’s not an inherently wrong job just because you don’t like it lol.

    And auger makes the task moot anyways, and if it’s powder, a shovel works fine too.



  • As someone who’s done the same, eh, you have the machine anyways, and maybe you live in a drier place? Because they more or less come out in a single chunk, or if not, soft enough that the auger won’t shirk at it. You have 50/50 chance of finding a boulder bigger than you’re auger hole anyways with any hole you try and make.

    We have pretty clay forward soil, so you can even just back fill and tamp it with the dirt you took out. Frost fucks with everything anyways.










  • Most likely the customer or some random person adjusted the valves, which shouldn’t affect anything actually. A job like this wouldn’t be signed off on, even a bad plumber wouldn’t do this… fucking lol.

    But it looks like the flow cartridge or aeroater is missing and that’s all. Most fixtures are controlled by flow regulators so messing with valves doesn’t fuck with them. That’s how tradesmen know this isn’t just a bad plumber fyi.
