We finally got a new, 25' flag pole for the place. I spent the day removing an old, beat up pole, digging a decent sized hole and setting the sleeve. Still have some cleanup and landscaping to do around the base.
I used 5 bags of the quick-setting, no mix concrete mix. The instructions said you could go 30" and just add water at the top. Yeah...that's pretty optimistic. We only went 18" and it was kind of a PITA. Wound up mixing it as best I could in the hole. But, the sleeve is in, it's perfectly level and it needs a day or so to cure. I just put the flags up this afternoon for the photo op. Got the solar-charging light out all day to charge. Should be good to go for tomorrow.
