Saw something wild on a job site in Springfield last Thursday
I was driving past a new subdivision off Route 9 and saw a crew setting 6-foot cedar panels. They had the posts set in concrete, but I swear they only used maybe two bags of mix per hole. The ground there is pure clay, and we're heading into freeze-thaw season. I mean, those things are gonna heave like crazy come spring. Has anyone else run into crews cutting corners on concrete in wet soil areas?

Ugh, that's a disaster waiting to happen. I saw a crew do the same thing with a mailbox post last month, it was already leaning after one good rain.

Wait, only two bags for a six-foot panel in clay? How is that even gonna hold?

Saw my buddy try that with a fence post. Thing was crooked before he even got the rails on.
