Well , crushed rock to be more precise . Had it delivered today by the
county , I'll be billed later but the agreed on price was very reasonable
. Unfortunately the rain got too heavy before i finished spreading it with
Rusty the Tractor . This will be the parking pad for our camper , later an
RV if I can convince . But that's just the beginning , I'm building a
"carport" structure to shelter the camper/RV from the weather - 12 feet
clear height and approximately 11'4" clear sideways and 30 feet long . I
plan to park the Harleys under it too . I priced the metal carport
structures , by the time I get the height and size I want it's over 2500
bucks from the local . I can build it myself for less than half that with
materials from the local lumber yard . Hmmm , I haven't priced steel
structural members , might be cheaper than lumber . A task for tomorrow ,
tonight I'm drinkin' whiskey .

How is it that the county delivers crushed rock to you rather than a private
hauler?


Â* I don't know the politics of it , just that if you ask nicely the
county road maintenance dept will haul gravel and crushed rock for the
cost of the material . I'll be billed at the end of the month .
