was it at least weak and crumbling concrete around the rocks?

I got the bucket truck stuck yesterday cause a yard was all greasy due to rain. Got it out by jacking it up via the outriggers and using mats but it was still a bit messy.

Why I chose a night with drizzling rain to do it...the logic eludes me. Not happy nobody has LED's for them though. I don't want to pay $40 + shipping.

Not really, footing was the most solid part of the whole chimney! They pretty much took a pile of excavated rubble from where they dug the foundation of the house and cemented it together and built on that. We are pouring the new pad for the chimney tomorrow, pinned of course. Think the biggest rock we gout out today was in excess of 500+ lbs, took a few out like that.
