I am having about 1300 sqft of my house tiled , went to Home depot and picked up the Materials . Took two trips as Pebbles springs just were not up to handling the job in one load . I hand unloaded the materials by myself , wow !! is all i have to say .

Tiles are deceivingly heavy! It just doesn't seem like those little boxes should weigh that much. Keeps you young, I guess. Truck looks awesome!

That's nothing. I built a pavestone patio and hauled 17 tons of crushed concrete for the base as well as a pallet of retaining wall stones. Truck was digging it.

Nice looking truck you have there. I very much prefer the long beds.

I don't do anything I can't do one handed. The beer helmet didn't work out for me.

"Abs" as in plural? Of late some of us guys only have one ab... it's a belt buckle hiding device.
