PHD or BH use for fence posts?

That is me buying the materials and delivering to the site. I would just be paying him $800 for the labor. Which I thought was a little steep. I was figuring around $500.00 after he told me 2 guys at 4 days.

That's actually pretty cheap.

The math works out to $12.50/man hour. That's wages, insurance (L&I), the companies portion of SSI, overhead for the expenses of running the company, and profit. In my book, that's a very fair price.

Is this because of the water just setting around the top of the concrete???

As the post dries, it will shrink away from the concrete and let water fill the gap.

Just tamping the soil will hold it well enough, while allowing water to drain away
