A couple of weeks ago, I had a bulldozer come and prepare a site for a new hay barn. Really just a 30x60 shelter for round bales. Mostly. Probably closed in on 3 sides. But there was a lot of dirt being moved around as you can see in the pictures. One end was dug into a bank with that dirt moved to the other end to bring it up so it would be level. There is about 7 or 8 feet a new dirt added on top of the original surface at the one end. The contractor wants to put in concrete piers to set the 6x6 posts onto. We may put down a 15x30 concrete slab on end and it was suggested that we wait a year for the ground to settle before we do that. So then my thought is, do we need to wait awhile before we put in the concrete piers for the posts? I have a 3 pt post hole auger but that is only good for about 3 feet. I do not know how I would auger a 10 foot hole so I could get down to undisturbed earth.
