SIX bags???
At our last house, we always lost sections of fence with tropical storms. I finally realized that the sections that went down already had rotten posts.
BUT, I set the post, tied it down so it was level, and poured the bag of concrete into the hole. Sometimes I added water.
There's enough moisture in the ground here to set the concrete.
ONE BAG ONE POST
Because I said so.

Where in the country do you live? I have to set the post down several feet so it doesn't heave in the Winter.
In the process of removing the old past and cement I ended up making a huge hole. It was probably two feet wide at the top and it tapered down from there.

Typically the bad weather seems to hit the poor folk in the trailer parks. I was pleased to see this hurricane hit Kennedy country and screw over the 4th of July for all of the rich folk on Nantucket and Martha's Vineyard.

Tornados touched down here this morning. It hit a coworker’s neighborhood hard. I think she is okay, though.
It passed near me, but jumped over a friend’s house that is somewhat set apart.
I’ve been on generator power for a couple of hours. Keeping the food cold at least.
Because I said so.

Slightly more wet than usual this fall. And cool.
Oh well.
