I can't offer suggestions on what you should charge but is there a lot of ledge in the area you will be working? You might want a clause to cover the case if you have to start pinning the posts.
Im assuming you mean setting the posts into the ground,well Im going into clay dirt so my only concern will be any buried solid refuse from years past so what I will do is drive a 3/4"x4' long metal spike into the area to be dug and if I do not strike anything solid then I wont lose any time for excavation. Cheers Pete.
I don't set into crete, I dig five feet deep. I figure dig and set one post per three manhours. Layout extra. Fence building extra. I have clay soil with large donuts - one every other hole

Sounds like I should pay you about $3 per hour for you, and $2 each for the boys.
Sound about right?
Just kidding. Are you asking these guys to tell you what you should make?
