Yes, definitely all backhoe movable. Very little in life that can't be =
solved with a backhoe :-)

I found RediFooting:

<https://www.redifooting.com/why-redi-footing>

If I'm resigned to digging a hole with an auger, this beats the whole =
concrete sonotube circus. And a bunch of folks on the Journsal of Light =
Construction like them, which is always a nod to something's viability =
for me. Still open to ideas though, rental shop is closed until Monday =
morning...
