Eric,
Have you considered drilling 2 small holes for each post and using a Simpson
metal 4x4 mount. These are sturdy and they also keep the posts about an
inch high off the concrete. I think that this would be easier to install
and maintain than digging 2 large holes and setting in concrete. You could
use a standard drill with a masonary bit. I bet the bit and hardware would
cost less than $20 dollars and it would probably take you less than an hour
to drill the holes, install the hardware, and setup the posts.
Good luck.

I need to cut 2 holes in my concrete patio, each one will have
a 4x4 stuck in it and then concreted up again so i have a sturdy post.
I'm putting in a fence and gate on one end of my patio so i can let
my daughter out to play there.
I need these holes to be big enough to allow me to move the post a bit
to get things to line up right (6" holes?)
Anyway, whats the easiest way to do this? What if i hire a contractor, how
much do you think that would that cost me?
Thanks,
Eric
