What more could a woman want?
« on: March 24, 2013, 03:09:27 pm »
A hunky young man with a JCB and 15 ton of stone, yee ha !!! I have paths  :yippee: :yippee: no more ankle deep mud, just getting from the house to the yard has been a nightmare. Tried pallet duckboards but after slipping off one and landing face first in the mud they had to go.  ::)  OH is home at the moment and arranged it so he can't even complain about the cost ( that'll be a first).

How much did it cost and how far does 15 ton of stone go?
Any particular type of stone ie:what do I ask for?
 
Probably need at least twice that and haven't got any money just now but when...

That's great thank you.  The whole track and yard need doing but will probably need a layer of mud scraped off first else it will all disappear straight away.  Something else to save up for.

Bloomer my type 1 was £12 a ton delivered + vat , would have been less if I had taken a bigger load. Oh and Dogwalker my hunky man with  JCB lives about 100 yds away, does mean that I don't have to pay for his travelling time and the quarry is about 10 miles away.
