Good evening everyone. Hope your St. Patty's day was/is a good one.
It is my youngest boy's birthday today.
Can't believe he is 2 already.
The big b-day party is Saturday, too hard to do a party in the middle of the week.

Got my list of companies to visit tomorrow to fill out apps.

20,000 square feet @ 4" top soil would need about 244 cubic yards of material. At Pete's rate of $17/yard that's $4148 for material and $10,852 for labor.
At $25/yard it is $6100 for soil and $8900 for labor.

You'd need 185 yards @ 3".

And for the record I have fallen asleep in a machine before. Just for an hour or so though.

I've also fallen asleep in a tractor before, it wasn't too bad. The tractor cab was pretty big so that helped alot.

Yea, but let's figure he's going 4" at $25 a yard. That makes for 6500 for material plus I'd say 1500 or 2,000 for raking plus probably another 2500 or so to get it all graded in would make for 11,000 before seed.

You're talking about like 13 triaxle loads of material.

Oh. Both my arm rests were intact so I put em both up and got myself tilted on the seat and rested my head on my jacket which was pushed up against the window. Plus when you're inside a glass box in the sun it's already toasty warm.

I think I wanna go take another nap in a dozer now...

Thanks! Those tie downs were ones the previous owner installed...but I tell ya, they come in handy a lot!

Happy birthday to your little one!! When my nephew turned two last year we all went to Chuck-E-Cheese with a billion screaming children buzzing around everywhere. Talk about birth control!

My sister Holly and I were the youngest "adults" there so we were put in charge of helping the toddlers through this big hamster maze thingy they had there. My knees got sore, not made for someone over 3 1/2 foot tall!

What do you have planned for a party? When I was a kid I always had parties at home, and those were the coolest.

Well I have an early morning tomorrow. Gnight everyone.
