Yeah, don’t buy stone or fines on a rainy day
The loader they’re using puts 4 tons in my trailer without even emptying the bucket

Interesting fact...One ton of gravel equals about 18 cubic feet, so 1.5 tons is about a yard. Fortunately for me, the local places all sell by the yard if delivered; if you're hauling your own in a dump trailer you're back to tons. I guess weighing is the only way they really know what's in your trailer.
I apologize for all the math talk, as I'm told it's racist.
The white granite in this area is slightly lighter than gray granite. Mount Airy NC has the biggest white granite quarry in the US. If you buy white gravel in a bag at Lowes or HD, it most likely came from there.
I like it, the driveway lights up in your headlights when you come in at night. We’re about a mile from pavement and go through 2 other properties to get to our place. Neighbors love me for working on the drive.

Not recent I do not think. I am all for training in the kit you will use and that pic cracks me up
Apparently some serious ice all over in the Austin area. My friend's younger brother has been sans power for 40 hrs.
They too have another storm in bound with ice today and snow tomorrow.
Yay pilgrim, are these all your photos?
If so, you are a genius with your camera, hands down.
Best pictures I´ve seen since a while.
And if so too, have you been to all this places?

Am I the only goon who sees a Steyr pistol in his sensitive glove covered hands? 1912 model...?

3 degrees for a low Monday morning, Central Tx.
Looks like the lamppost in Narnia from The lion, the witch and the wardrobe
Copperhead Road is a favorite!
Were supposed to get it tonight
I spent a good part of the day making and testing the gennie connection to the panel, moving a couple of circuits and adding a new wire to my well pump all so I can run everything essential if we lose power. We’ve only been here full time for a couple of weeks so getting it all preppery like our old house is taking max effort.
Good news is gennie handles furnace, well, all lights, fans, fridge and even the water heater if I make sure well is off while it heats up. We can’t use the oven or clothes dryer obviously, it’s only a 6500W gennie.
I ordered a propane wall heater today....for a worst case scenario, to be used for emergency only like gennie quits running or something. It won’t be here for this storm but well have it going forward.
I also ordered our mini-split heat pump system (19 seer!). I’m taking the old oil furnace out before it craps the bed. The new sys is supposed to make heat down to 5 deg
and I sized it perfectly to the house to be sure and remove humidity in the summer.4 wheeler and truck are full of fuel, we have plenty to cook and I’ve got a book I want to start
