That's the calculated weight of the load of block I just had
delivered at 38 lbs per . What in hell have I gotten myelf into !?!


Yikes! Hopefully, it was dropped where you *need* it! We had 4800#
of ceramic tile delivered and they wouldn't come up the (short)
driveway. Moving it from the curb to the back porch in boxes of 9 or
10 tiles at a time took a fair bit of time and was brutal on the back!


I wish we could have gotten it where I need it ! I'll be the next week
moving it down the hill to the construction site , about 50 at a time in the
trailer . That's OK though , I think the slab needs that week of cure time


Well, at least you'll have a trailer! When we moved the tile, it
had to go *through* the house. So, most of it got hand-carried,
a box (9 tiles?) at a time. (no tolerance for breakage since
we had purchased the entire end of the lot!)
