Are you going to use sonotube to form up your footings? I didn't hear of any joist hangers. You will probably want to embed the post fixing brackets directly into the top of your cement posts and a heavy box of nails! You aren't nearly finished packing gear.
Do you plan to mix up all of those bags of concrete by hand in a barrow or will you haul a mixer up those stairs? And back down again!! You might consider investing in a big conveyer belt or maybe one of those tracked Dingo's to climb up those stairs bearing loads. I believe a new one is just around thirteen thousand dollars. Actually even with four of you carrying those bags of cement you made pretty good time. I unloaded a dozen last autumn from a pallet up into my shed because I didn't trust the tarp to keep them dry, only five steps and about thirty feet and I had had enough. There isn't any reasonable way to carry the beggars except to heave them over your shoulder and even then they are hard to hang on to after about the third one. By six or eight it gets really tough to get them up to your shoulder. Well it does for a little guy like me. You will probably discover that wrestling with a powered post hole auger is quite a challenge too. It is all character building.
