Tired of the Mud
I've put this off long enough. With the rain we've had this year, the spot I park my truck has become a sloppy mess. Today when I moved the truck to haul off a load of limbs, there was a 4" rut where I park. I collected some heavy duty filter fabric from one of my previous construction projects and decided to put some to good use. With a change in Mine Safety policies, I can't get a load of rock from the quarry in the back of my truck any longer. They will only load an actual dump truck, or load into a trailer (which I don't have). This No. 3 stone came from a retail yard only 1/2 mile from the house. The rock on the fabric was the first load of 1 Cubic Yard. The load in the truck was the second load, 2 Cubic yards.
It's nice to have a big assed truck, but damn am I going to be sore tomorrow.

Nice!
I'm currently moving from temporary housing, (owners of the motel sold their offsite motel manager housing) into a modular building on another property they owned. Being it was just finished second week of January, the freshly graded dirt around it was a marsh, since the end of Jan and into Feb, we've had a few minus 10° days and snow. So now I'm moving one car load at a time on a rutted frozen snow covered tundra. Wish I owned a Tundra... Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G891A using Tapatalk

The county quit maintaining our road a few years ago after almost six decades of maintenance. Claims we no longer live on a county a county road. We could lose Montana in some of the holes. Several neighbors decided last year to buy a couple of loads of dirt and fix the worst ones but we got weather at inconvenient times for dirt work.

Looks like a big job. How much does a cubic yard of rock weigh?
