The inspector came out and signed off on our footer holes and explained that we really did not need to have dug-out footers, despite what the guy that issued our permit told us. We anchored the posts to the patio and finished up the holes.
All the neighbors like to watch the slow progress. They all seem to think that it's funny to come by with cold beer, knowing that I have 6 more hours of work to do.
Today we poured the concrete footers. I think we used nearly 20 sacks of concrete for 5 footings. Next time we will rent a mixer.
Tomorrow we'll hit Menards for some 2x10's.
