I usually grab a 2x4 but i was in a hurry so i didnt. Ive done it with just the sledge turned sidways plenty of times before and never had a problem. Its not like im beating it to death here, if it takes more than a few gentle taps to get it together something is wrong.

In the pic with the view, are you guys prepping a lawn or backfilling a wall? That is some awfully sandy stuff for a lawn..........

Grass grows good in sand that is what golf courses have under the sod. I think sand is just about all Aussies have just like us beach bums.

Yup, i wish we had more sand around here. beats the hell out of dirt and clay.

We have a pretty sandy soil profile out here with a caliche about 6-8 feet down and some clay in places. I've hit some heavy rock, but nothing beats the sand for drainage. Plus, sod grows really well in the sand.

Jeez Mate!...thats the Good Stuff...like $45 a cube

Yeah, we are prepping for a lawn.

West Australians are colloquially know as SandGropers. All we got is sand sand and more sand. Awhile back we were digging out for a pool and hit some clay...we all got out and looked and played with it...we don't see it too often around Perth but where I grew up we had plenty.

The red looking stuff is sold as red loam and does well for lawn...no guts but free draining and better than the existing shyte.

This is an easy one...Can anybody tell me what happens when you handle pieces of Hardwood with a skid that a big enough and heavy enough to warrant a decent wheel loader???:crying :crying :crying :crying

All in the name of entertaining you guys...sheesh...some days you are better off staying in bed.

It started out this morning with the keys locked in the truck and got worse from there.:Banghead :Banghead

Those windows are expensive, my dad cracked the polyglass on the 277B we were demo'ing. $290 for a replacement.

Dang, well you should of known you where asking for it when you had to get 3 fat guys to ride around on the back of your machine to keep the rear tires on the ground.

A demo from a couple months ago. 30 minutes to destroy and stack, 4 hours to load into 2 cans and clean-up. Frame went to the local snowmobile club to become a couple bridges.
