Footings

A decade or a decade and a half a go, I helped a pour the foundation for a laundry shed. If I knew then what I knew now, we'd have found a place to set a concrete pump, but instead rented an electric mixer and poured from bagged concrete.
Memory is hazy. It was tens of of bags. At least 35, something is telling me it may have been as many as 65 bags. At any rate it was a brutal tiring day.
What I'm saying is that I realize that I was doing a bunch of digging in summer Petaluma clay with the pick to dig the place for the footings, and I was mixing the bags by hand today, but the 11 bags I poured today just kicked my ass.
I gotta do more upper body stuff.
