your method allows you to keep all of the beer. I am interested in adding that climbing exercise to my workout routine just to change things up a bit. Do you use any special pack or any special kind of weights? What kind of foot-wear are you guys using so as not to blow ankles ?

I definitely considered a truck for the deck footers, but the problem is that the truck would have as much cement in the hose as I would need in the holes. IE, believe it or not, 35 80 pound bags of cement is about 2/3 of a yard. Not much cement for a truck. Plus, the closest the truck could get to the drop point is about 100 feet horizontally and about 10 feet below. And, I would have to negotiate with the neighbors to have the truck parked in their driveway. This would have been from a house behind mine. This set of holes is only about a third of a yard at most. So, I think it might be difficult to get a truck to deliver that little. We picked up another round of 40 pounders this evening. It goes pretty quickly and I swear those 40s feel like a lot less than half an 80. I actually discussed getting my mountaineering club involved in helping out. They often climb stairs with heavy packs so thought this would be a good workout for them. I've only climbed stairs with a 30 pound pack on for training, but one of my buddies is training for Everest and he climbs with a 100 pound pack. I kid you not. He does six climbs up a building near here that is 37 stories tall. We couldn't work out timing for everyone though. So I am doing it this way. It really isn't that bad with the 40s. -- Blue skies.
