I’ve been wanting to knock this out for a while. Got some small rock few bags of Portland cement and sand. Got it done in a couple hours. Went down to the local rock quarry with my trailer and got one ton of sand. Minimum unit they sell in. I’ll put leftover some in the garden to help break up the clay. I’m on a roll this week. Installed fence post right into cement. Wheelbarrow is poor man’s cement mixer. Trailer is now empty wife says “you sure your going golfing tomorrow “ me” Aleve will kick in on number one hole. Wife says” you know your not a young chicken anymore “

Crappie,right after I got out of high school, I got a 1 day job at clasters unloading a truck load of that stuff. That will make you sleep good. I couldn’t do it anymore that’s for sure. Looks like you did a nice job. Hope you’re able to get up and go in the morning

Those Portland cement bags are 94 pounds each. I have often wondered why? Not 90 95 100?

They are hard to handle. Like picking up a bag of jello.

Great job there. Aleve does great things and no worries, you're no chicken, young or old, you're a proud rooster!!

I went to lowes to get 3 bags of cement, cashier asked if I could use help loading. 3 young men and a young woman were nearby. All the men took off and left the young lady to help me. I was disappointed with the men and impressed by the lady. I know that modern kids are different than when we were young. I would never think of letting a woman lift heavy things while I was around.
