We will Run short about 1.5 meter. 8 meters is plenty when your shovelling, raking and trowelling by hand. a cubic meter is about 10% bigger than a cubic yard Gotcha. You're darn right it is!! I've shovelled my share over the years and I'm glad those days are long behind me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have your old air mattress here if you wanted to stay over. Do you think you could still keep up with us like you did at camp? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve pretty much stopped the wheelbarrowing myself but we still use them regularly. A lot of tight access in the newer neighbourhoods. The guy inside the pool in my pic is my kid. He loves to push wheelbarrows and ride the other employees asses. He’ll tell the concrete drivers to up the loads just the watch the weaker guys struggle. oh, here comes my truck 45 minutes late.

They still have an event, but not official NASCAR. Super mods, stock, trucks, and something else. Edit: Canadian circuit.

I have 8 meters of concrete on order for 3pm cause I couldn't get it earlier. Its gonna be a tough pour. Tomorrow is supposed to hit 32 with chance of thunder storms. Never did hit 32 here today. 29 was the hottest it got, thankfully, and it didn't get there until we quit work at 5pm. A couple small showers through the day but not enough to help my lawn.
