New "garage" in the works

[themechanic]

Looks like that drains towards your house. Yikes!

If you think of it as a long term investment it won't seem so bad. Just divide the cost by 30 years.

Oh I won't live that long; my youngest son will put me in my grave long before 30 years.

Yes, there is a hill in front, but it'll be fine. The angle of the dangle from that vantage point makes it look much worse in the picture than it does when you are standing on terrafirma.

Grave, you say? Now that is some expensive dirt.

Your hill reminds me my daughter lives on a street named Roadrunner Hill. That's where the Coronet will live when I'm too old to drive or die.

So "cheaper than dirt" these days is still mighty expensive. Spread out one truck load ( about 15 ton or 8 cubic yards ) and it don't cover much area @ about 6" deep. ......................MO

No kidding. I think they said that they're up to 10 on the front so far (when I took the pictures today) including the front banking.

I hope you don't plan on mowing the grass on that sucker.

I couldn't begin to imagine what a place like that would cost in the N/E compared to N/E rural Missouri where I am at. My neighbor is a mile away but St. Louis is also 120 miles!

Correction; Submit says that we are up to 18 truck loads deposited in various places around the yard with 5 more to come.

Thinking aloud I just kinda knew that "Submit" was involved at this point. At least she didn't "desacrate" the lower level of the house! I have the same problem with my better-half!

Cool sky tonight, complete with lightning.

 

[Fran Blacker]

Going to make mud pies tomorrow? Looks like got a big storm.

Why is dirt so expensive?
It's sort of everywhere


Isn't there tri-axles there? 23 ton instead of tandem' s 15, you're really paying for the transport.
Looking sweet RC

More from the show last night....

 

[themechanic]

Pretty pictures.

Have you thought of a name for your new home? How about The Ponderosa. Those trees in the photo remind me of Bonanza.

Wow lots of fencing around there. Are the neighbors friendly? Or did those go up since they met you?

Good question RC?
To keep you out, or keep you in?
Bless you RC, I wouldn't make a good neighbor.
