Wow! $80 bucks? I’m thinking if it were a big dump truck it was more like 8 CUBIC yards, so you got a great deal! We just went and bought a trailer-ful of sand for our concrete projects. Since we backed the thing up and shoveled it ourselves, we only had to pay $10.50, but that was for about 1 1/2 cu. yds. When I was waiting to pay for this load, I overheard the man on the phone talking to someone who was ordering a truck full of sand. He quoted $210 for 7 cu. yds, delivered!!
Yes, that’s right...eight cubic yards. It’s a huge sandpile (or was...prior to all the playing.) I kept telling the kids they were gonna love it but they had no idea.
Remember when we put the fence up by the shop? We made a ten-foot panel that just bolted on with wing nuts. It was my idea...I designed it and had Steve build it. We spaced our posts so there was a ten-foot gap between them.
He said he thought it was an odd thing till he stood in the yard watching that big dump truck backing into our yard through the space it made when he just unbolted it and took it down. He told me he just stood there thinking “Now that’s a beautiful thing.”
