Hello,
We have a pole-mount job coming up and I would appreciate some advice
about pouring concrete.  We have done pole mount systems before and on 
those jobs the site was accessible
directly with a concrete truck.  No problem.
 
On our upcoming job, however, the homeowner does not want us to drive 
the truck across his lawn
and I agree.  The risk of damage it too great.  We have to pour a total 
of around 6 yds. for the footings.
I see two options and I don't know which is the better choice:
    1. Use a truck to deliver the concrete and use cheap labor to 
wheelbarrow it from the driveway to the footing holes.
       It's a distance of about 60'.  We will have to pay extra charges 
for the concrete truck since he has to wait around
       for all the wheelbarrowing to get done.
    2. Rent a small mixer and mix it ourselves right on site.  I know 
with the ready mix that means around 240 bags at
        80 lbs each!
 
I would appreciate any help form those with experience dealing with 
these types of issues.
 
Thanks,
Joe Felker
