Was just out doing a little fix up on the Magnum. Been hearing an occasional little rattle under it for a few weeks now. Was another one of my Turkey pans comeing loose. They are only attached with speed nuts and a few spots have cut through the aluminum. Drops down an bounces off the exhaust. Just put a washer on...

Building must be dirt cheap there, a 40 foot sea crate in your area is 3550.00. just put it on a roll off truck to deliver it to your place and you are good to go!

Just the concrete in this valley would be $2k and that doesn't include having a reasonably competent fellow have the grading and forms done before the concrete gets there. Or just dump it in a pile and flatten it out with a tractor :rofl:

Certainly closer supply from east coast. Do they use them on Lake Michigan?

ive formed and poured more concrete than i can count. I'd do it myself. Concrete for that would run me about 1200 for 8 inch thick, M70 grade. but i get a BIG farm discount for it or it'd be about twice that.

2 years ago when I retired it was $75/cu yd here. Done that concrete thing too. I found it was better to be on the Shipping end rather than on the Receiving end.

it varies here depending on grade. for m70 here, with a farm license, its bout 40 bucks a yard, plus 10% delivered. Farms that purchase more than 20 yards at a time, get it at 5% above cost.
 
My sales department tried charging the contractors for the mud and freight separately for a very short time. Freight was always included in the price/yd, we had zones from the plant that determined the freight involved. Some of the contractors bit for a very short time, but they determined as I did before the experiment, that the 5 minutes per yard we gave them to unload was cheaper than the cost of the material plus the cost of the truck from plant to plant by the minute. End experiment.
 
We went to the $20 Mid State Fair last night. Everything you do is $20. It was only 100* when we got to the parking lot a slight improvement from the 108* it was earlier. Found a good spot just outside the arena close to the adult beverage dispensers and listened to ZZ Top. :thumbsup:

Thats part of why its so cheap here, we buy directly from a local concrete plant so there is no middle man.
 
so i can upgrade the tire size on the polara for about 100 bucks for the fronts. going from the 195/65/15s to 205/70/15s, gaining a 1.5 inch height and .5 inch wider tire.
 
Forgot about the dually tire swap. He was supposed to drop it first thing, not at noon.
Hes done this before. May have to ask him to move on.
 
Mitch took me to Arlington cemetery, and helped me find my Uncle Bobs grave....I never thought I would see it in my life....
