Free, Yes, I Said Free....

Well...

I've mentioned before that my husband Steve
works at a nursery

When the guys go out to do a landscape,

they invariably come back with rocks,
lots of rocks.

Texas specific rocks.... Shale, chalk rock,
whatever you choose to call it.

You can't dig three feet without encountering it!

They usually dump it along the creek bed sides
at the nursery property or....

put it in the dumpster.

What... Dumpster, are you kidding me?

No way!!!!!

Well...

Steve talked to the guys and they agreed to offload

said rock in a pile for Steve to take home.

Yeah, decent driveway in the works!

Steve's boss, Roland, let him use the
F550 to bring the rock home.

Borrowed truck

Even has a dump bed!!
Way cool!!!


Dust cloud on it's way!



After I took this pic I made a beeline for upwind!

Big rocks, little rocks, rock dust,
once it gets dumped, Steve drives over it to crush the biggies!
Eventually we will have a non mud driveway.
Not that it's muddy now, but in the spring,
let's just say, cars beware!


The lean, mean, working machine, AKA the hard working hubby!

Yes, it would be nice to have a non dusty,
concrete drive like we had in the city
but for a driveway as long as ours,
that just isn't in the budget.

Crushed rock is just dandy!
(And washing my truck is useless)

Can't beat free!
  
I'm canning tomatoes and making soap tomorrow,
should be fun!

Till next time,
Bonjour
