Gravel!

Posted on 8:21 AM by cristile

Well we finally got some gravel for our foundation and base layer for the floor. This 12 ton pile cost $135 and will be more than enough. Luckily, a friend was willing to use a work truck to pick it up and deliver it to the site reducing the $100 delivery fee to a few promised home brews.
