That is why I said 16 tons. The truck can only carry about 12-14 tonsHatchdog wrote: ↑Sun Jul 12, 2020 9:26 amSir Henry,
As soon as I read 16 tons this song leapt to mind.

Re: Working In The Yard
This is the angle of the land I needed to use to back the trailer into its final resting spot. I was afraid it would tip over so I had to level it.
Here the gator is earning its keep.
I’ll be removing the gravel and dirt between the top and bottom.
There she sets. It still needs to be leveled and the rock foundation put under it.

Lookn' good Gene. Looks like some hard work though. Careful moving/shoveling all that stone! You have a wonderful looking and functional home.

Re: Working In The Yard
Thanks Mark. It’s a labor of love. Sometimes I think I should have sold the house and moved into an apartment. But then I think about the day it’s finished and that keep me going.markiver54 wrote: ↑Thu Jul 16, 2020 9:37 pmLookn' good Gene. Looks like some hard work though.

In the last four years I have moved 80 ton of rock and about 40 yards of gravel.

Re: Working In The Yard
In the past I would just keep working till I couldn’t lift a finger. Now I know when to stop and take a rest. And by rest I’m talking two days not 15 minutes.markiver54 wrote: ↑Thu Jul 16, 2020 10:05 pmYes...enjoy the fruits of your labor!

Re: Working In The Yard
Thanks. The trailer is a highly collectible one piece fiberglass body with no fender flairs. It also has tandem axles.
