Â* Well , crushed rock to be more precise . Had it delivered today by the

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 .


Don't do like they do in San Antonio and build carports out of 2x2's and
corrugated fiberglass panels. They're great if the only load is sunlight.



Very attractive; does a lot for property values in the neighborhood too.

I heard that the fiberglass supplier is required to throw in 4 concrete
blocks so you can store a wheels-off 1970's junk car in your front yard;-)
