What's concrete worth up there?

I've got about 200 cubic feet of pole/pile footings to pour on current deck job and I'm using a concrete mixer and barrowing. I know, crazy, but events have made it necessary to get 'er done. One more big day and it'll be done. Desperate to get out of the wet, muddy, mo-fo ground.

I honestly couldn't tell ya. Last time I personally poured I believe it was $110 a yard.

$100-125 per cubic yard here, depending on what it is.

KiwiBro, that's like 7 cu yards of concrete. A shartload to mix by hand

It's been like 5 years since I did any sort of pour myself. Lol. This job was to big for this guy.

Lol. I definitely won't have any left over room. Not near enough most likely.

Thanks for the replies. The concrete costs up there are about 3/4 of here, maybe even a bit less as it is quite variable here depending on location and what they think they can get away with.

Yes, it's a lot to mix with a mixer and barrow/place manually, but I had no choice if I didn't want to wait until after the rain that's now pissisting down outside. Got most of it done. Just one more day to go but the critical stuff is done.

I second the Miller Mod Coffee Shop idea. Add an automatic chain grinder on the other side of a see through wall and Shirley people will turn up with a few chains and have a coffee and watch the show while they wait? Bit 'o 2-stroke fumes wafting through the joint, and man-glitter (wood chips) on the floor for ambience and it might be a winner. Or not.
