Being the DIYer's that we are, and having an aversion to spending money on labor we can do ourselves, it was decided we would rent a Bobcat and drill the holes for the posts as opposed to hiring someone. My husband was the designated driver and having never been in one before he practiced driving this incredibly useful machine for an half hour before tackling the auger.
I do not have a picture of the holes being drilled because I was too busy helping hoe the dirt away from the hole and making sure he was drilling straight over the mark! He did a great job and after two days of drilling and moving the dirt out we had 34 holes with concrete footers.
My husband dropped the posts in the holes as carefully as he could- a 14 foot
6x 6 weighs an awful lot!
A day and a half to level them and brace them; he did the leveling while I nailed the braces in place. It's starting to look like a structure
(or a lot of tipi's without covers) !
