What they say

something. I'm going to get some heavy equipment. I've done some pretty dumb stuff in my life and all of them included using a shovel. And today, I'm not going to be breaking my back. I went to Tate's rented for the day this skid steer. I got a big old load of road mix on top. I'm going to try spreading it, but also see if I can break off all this really hard dirt that's sitting on top, giving us a, let's just say, a little bit smoother platform to work with. It's a tight fit. I'm glad I got a small one, not a big one. If precision ever mattered, it's mattering right now. We're working with a gas line, about 5 ft of space, a brand new build construction, and a retaining wall. Things go south, I'm going this way, hopefully. So, we got delivered 17 yards of road mix. Road mix is important because roadm compacts really well, which you have to get a compactor as well. What it does is it creates a nice strong foundation. So, any paver that we put on top, when the water starts soaking up into the soil, it won't start sinking all your rock or or your pavers down into that mud. it'll stay afloat and keeping us all afloat. Uh 17 yards. I think I paid 275 bucks with delivery fee, which is like 90 bucks. So, not terrible. I figured it would be a smarter way for me to actually have a solid path. There's a huge divot in there, so this mini skid ends up tilting over. So, I'll start basically creating a safe path so I can get on the other side of the house.
