A big sandbox (without the box)
I have been feeling sick this week. Tired, and a sore throat. Much better today but yesterday was rough.
However only a few days ago we were made aware that our road had a half load limit for trucking things in that starts on March first and goes to April 30th. I had to carry on yesterday.
So, we had 25 truck loads of granular B brought in. It is a mixture of sand and round stones. Particle sizes up to 1 inch. Granular B is a sub-base material, primarily used as a foundation for roads, parking lots and driveways. Basically... Sand.
We will be putting 18 inches instead of 12 inches of this under the house to keep water out of our basement.
After we got the test holes done, we had Jenoah and Bruno test the granular B to confirm this is what we would need.
Now we are kind of doing things backwards by having it shipped in prior to the town approving the extra 6 inches, however the cost savings of using full trucks to half trucks makes it worth while. Now... some time today... I hope to get the report from Jenoah and Bruno to take to the town for their 10 day review / approval.
Once that is back... we can build.
