A phone call to the stone supplier established that the delivery would happen today, they could not find a reason why it didn’t happen yesterday.
The tarpaulin was still anchored to the drive as we left to do a bit of shopping.
As we had sold the storage box we needed a lid support, the one that came with the box was broken, and fortunately Menards had a replacement.
I needed some ready-mix cement to lay the slabs, these came in sixty pound bags, which was quite a challenge getting those into the trolley.
By the time we got back home the delivery had happened, and it was quite a shock.
There was a pile of grey scalping towering above us, that is when I realised what four cubic yards of rocks looks like.
It was obvious that there was far too much for what I needed, so much for relying on experts.
I started carrying it around in a five gallon bucket, five shovelfuls per bucket was my limit.
Kelli was helping me, she also filled her bucket with five shovelfuls, but her shovel was considerably smaller, but every little helps.
Within a short time we had filled the area stomping it down as we went.
The pile on the drive had hardly shrunk at all, in fact it hardly made a dent at all,maybe someone needs a new runway built, if so, I’ve got the rocks.
We had to get a few jobs finished because we had people coming round to collect them.
Also the person who bought the storage box also bought the rug, so Stein night at New Holland was especially welcomed.
