Boost-n-Juice Posted April 17, 2005 Report Share Posted April 17, 2005 I swear it was April's fools day when I woke up Saturday morning. Earlier in the week I ordered some dirt from Jone's Topsoil and it was delivered Saturday morning. I told the guy I needed enough for a flower bed, 16'x4', 1' deep. He says I need 3 cu ft, but for $5 more I can get 4 cu ft. Sure send the shit. I wake up and I have a mound of dirt the size of my Crown Vic in my driveway! Holy Shit! I fill the flower bed and that only took a 1/10th of the pile! I called to have them come pick up the rest and they closed! So I spent $130 and rented a little ride on digger thing. Almost killed myself several times on that. Bottom line, my yard is a few feet closer to the moon! and my ass is broken! +)_*+*#)&@_)$)*$)#*$*)+@##*(!!!

Guest GSRchick714 Posted April 18, 2005 Report Share Posted April 18, 2005 You can take that dirt to my new house and we can have raised beds! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nathan Posted April 18, 2005 Report Share Posted April 18, 2005 I moved 8 yds around in my front yard with a shovel and wheel barrow on Saturday so quit your whining! Jones does have great pricing though, cause it was only $172 delivered for all that dirt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets just say i got my yard done and several of my neighbors yards were taken care of as well. If I ever order from them again ill pay the extra money to have them spreed it for me. Oh it took me 3 days to move all the dirt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boost-n-Juice Posted April 19, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2005 We ended up using all the dirt. They dump 1/3 of a large dump truck, that has to be more than 4 cu yards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nathan Posted April 19, 2005 Report Share Posted April 19, 2005 I know what you mean on the spreader. That thing would have been great, but it couldn't come out for like two weeks and even then it was on a weekday. My neighbor was bitching about how she is going to be selling her house and my front yard was a "mess". I told her it would take a few weeks, but that it was going to look way better than hers. I put in irrigation too, so watering the yard will be a breeze. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
