Our local rent-a-center, for what it's worth, only has a small backhoe for rent. We were planning to rent it to excavate the holes before a buddy of mine supplied me with his large one, along with one of his crew to operate it. The problem with the small backhoe is the rate for rental. They want $175/day, with a minimum one day charge.
The good news is that we're already through that first load of gravel. The bad news is that I'll be ordering a few more tons first thing in the morning. Checking my reciept, I realized I had only gotten 7 ton, not 9 as stated above. I'll probably need at least two more ton.
And of course, you're right. We're both SORE!!! But I have to get the aditional gravel down quickly since my LVL's and I-Joists are scheduled to arrive at sun-up tomorrow.
Too bad I don't know anyone with a loader...
