[TowerTalk] How much?

[mwbesemer at cox.net]

If you find a contractor (preferably a small one) in your area that does 
concrete work, you might be able to convince him to add a yard or two to 
one of his orders and then just dump it in the hole for you.  Sometimes 
they have small jobs too and being able to add a yard or two might save 
him enough of a delivery charge that he'd be willing to help you out. 
The caveat is that you'll need to have your tower in the hole and ready 
for the pour, and the contractor will probably have to be working in 
your area because most concrete companies only let you have the truck 
for a certain period of time.

My dad was a concrete contractor and we did stuff like this all the 
time.
