Hi Roger;

Lets put things in the proper perspective. A concrete pumper will save you 
gobs of time and trouble and the money invested will only be a fraction of 
the project costs. I used one here a month ago. Cost me $500 to pump about 15 
(fifteen!) cu yds of concrete. Money well spent in my estimation! I never 
gave it a second thought once I realized that the only other way to the hole 
was manually, and from 200' away.
