It's a two-day operation. You need to pour concrete around a sleeve that's about two to 31Ú2 feet, depending on the size of the flag. The next day, you stick the pole in it, and put fine sand around (the base).

I figured the area needed it. There really isn't much in the area, and you'd have to go to Bangor or Lewiston or Portland to get (such flags).

Someone told me about the house with a shop behind it. We came up and thought it was ideal.
