Pat, my suggestion is squeeze the pump price & then bit the bullet......I think you'll be much happier with the process & the result.

cheers Bob

The pump price came from a contractor bidding on the job. It is probably generous. However a pump would limit me to doing one pour. Wouldn't want to pay twice.

Doh! Excellent point!

I totally forgot a very tiring experience I had nearly 40 years ago......

A buddy & I were hired to unload a concrete truck......the whole 9 yards (I think) , two guys, two wheelbarrows

We wheeled the mud ~100ft for a garage .....only about 45 trips each, done in just over an hour

We ran our asses off ....

As Tony suggested, wheelbarrows are doable & probably cheaper way cheaper than the put.

cheers Bob

OP already turned down that idea, saying it was just (old) him and his wife. (And not wanting to lay out 5 yards for the pumper, he also presumably didn't wanna lay out a similar amount to hire a few strong backs for a day, plus buying or renting wheelbarrows.)

sorry...missed your conga line comment..saw his "one old guy & a woman" comment but didnt get the reference

but he doesn't live in a vacuum there are people around to hire who could do that job for way less than $500

cheers Bob
