Dan,
I kinda figgerd it'd be too little for a truck. That's what concrete does for
a living after all, be dense and heavy and strong.

that the truck would have as much cement in the hose as I would need in

The whol time, I'm thinking "60 lb bags for pete's sake!"
I had a "fixer upper" apartment set up. 3 rentals, and I got used to
carrying 60 lb bags. Up 3 steps, cross the porch, down, 5, then down 5,
turn the corner and go into the basement or garage.

Dan,
I assume you considered having the mixed cement delivered in a big truck
with ahose and pump so they could just pump it right where you want it?
maybe the range is too far and probably it'd cost like sin.
Or am I incorrect that they can pump wet concrete through a long hose?

Well, I am not sure if I really need to go the extra 18 inches deep. My
brother-in-law was the one who suggested it when he saw the condition of
the soil when we dug the deck footers. he's the contractor, not me.
Probably, with the landings, it is not as critical. I considered a pad,
but was
OK Girly-man,
But do you really have to go all that deep? Surely the soil at 36 inches is
well compacted and plenty sufficient to hold up a couple of hundred pounds of
landing and your fat uncle? The base of a 12 inch diameter footing is about 80
square inches times two for the one landing and

Victor,
Possibly if I had a proper stair climbing dolly it would be a lot easier.
But I have found that bouncing the dolly up the stairs is a pain in the
ass. And, and with bags of cement, you have to be really careful to not
let them shift and then slip off the dolly.
I've tried this before.
Ah Jennifer,
But how impressed would she be when she found out that he was all tuckered
out from all the heavy lifting for her, to find out he's too tired to lift
her?
Exactly my point honey, because as sexy as that man is, he'll be way too
tired to perform anything short of a snore fest. Smi

Dan, have you considered using a dolly or hand truck to lug those things up
the stairs?
I'm just thinking that it would take a lot less energy to lug it up using
your arms, then your entire body.
I remember when I had to cart fridges and stoves up stairs for some people,
and remember thinking
