Identify tools needed. Make a sketch or a plan of the project. Prepare and protect the work area. Bring tools to the work area. Bring materials to the work area.
Materials Make a list of all materials needed.
Divide the list into what you have and what you need to buy. The post will have a sign with your house's number and your family's name on it. For the sake of simplicity, let's say that you already have had the sign made and the bracket it will hang from. Let's also say that the concrete that the post will be set in will be flush to the ground, so there's no need to build a form or be concerned about fancy concrete finishing. Another option is to prepare the post and sign and install the completed assembly in the hole with the concrete around it.
