| I don't buy crushed rock (limestone) anymore...I buy crushed concrete, it don't melt away like the limestone rock does and it's cheaper. i'll order a couple loads as soon as i'm sure i'll shut the machine down for the season. dunno what the cost will be for this year yet, but the guy selling it says it's still cheaper than the limestone rock, i'll prolly need about 200 more ton on my lot in town. |

Shameless, is this the same product as "recycled" concrete? If so, do you have tire issues with the rebar/fencing pieces in it? I was on a jobsite last year where the general had multiple loads hauled in for a temporary driveway to the site-EVERY sub contractor suffered flats :-( |

All I know is somewhere in China is a rice farmer digging up my limestone chips and wondering where they are coming from! ------------- I am still confident of this; I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.

When I helped build a 700' driveway when I was 1/3 of my age, we put down used grinding stones first. These wheels were 4 FEET in diameter, so 3 wide then offset 3,back to 3......it was a long friggin summer I KNOW that... he's only added 2 'lifts' of gravel since then, late 70s.... ------------- 3 D-14s,A-C forklift, B-112 Kubota BX23S lil' TOOT( The Other Orange Tractor) Never burn your bridges, unless you can walk on water |

| When I put in my driveway I bought limestone by the semi load, it was a back haul and I got it cheaper than I could get gravel hauled in from the gravel pit 15 miles away. I don't remember how thick I put it down but I leveled it with my backhoe then put 6" of ashphalt grindings on top of that, after the house was up I had id double tarred and chipped with lime stone and it's held up great that 15 years ago. |

When I was in trucking , I paid $4 a ton on limerock and delivered it for $8 - 15 ton loads on my old White tandem . Class 5 roadbed gravel was $2.50 a ton and came to around $60 a load as went 16 ton . Now I beleve limerock is over $12 a ton from pit and most places double that and tack on $75 for delivery Hard to figure as not son is paid $95 a hour, from brokers for his quint axle truck and can haul 19 ton loads . I use to put down about 60 ton a year on my 400 ft driveway as it seems running in and out daily just compressed the gravel into the sand under it . ------------- Life lesson: If you’re being chased by a lion, you’re on a horse, to the left of you is a giraffe and on the right is a unicorn, what do you do?

I bought #3 and #4 gravel a month or two ago. They were $565 per load. One load was a dump truck and the other was a trailer so I'm guessing the truck was probably 18 tons and the trailer probably 22 to 25 maybe? Got the same guys to bring 2 loads of medium sl*g from a local casting plant and they were $285 for the dump truck and $300 for the trailer. Medium sl*g is about like a #3 gravel. The problems with sl*g are it's hard to get because the plant doesn't run a schedule and you get reject parts in there sometimes to. Works great for a base though. ------------- "Farming is a business that makes a Las Vegas craps table look like a regular paycheck" Ronald Reagan |

| Shameless they have a large electro magnet on the crusher and it picks out almost all of the metal, once in a while I see a piece of wire. |

Your processor must have a stronger magnet that what's available "here"!! Was just on a jobsite that got "clean" recycled concrete and personally picked up 10 #'s worth of mainly the 3/16" mesh fencing mat and several chunks of 3/8" rebar that were 12-18's long !! The worst part is the chunks of wire still attached to chunks of concrete (1 1/2"x1 1/2")that were pointing straight up but couldn't/wouldn't lay over due to being "trapped" within it's cocoon. |

Use to buy 1 1/2" river rock for drainfieds at $6 a ton and installed price was figured at $12 a ton or about $8 a foot for drainfield rock, pipe and trench . now the rock alone is $18 a ton from pit . I went to graveless tubeing of 12" diameter with sock over it - now they said that fails so chambers are now used and they cost about $36 for 6' section So getting expensive just to use the throne . Daughter in law trucks for one of the black top plants so have got gotten blacktop millings now on driveway - price has been right - last load of the day rather than taking back to the plant she just dumped here . ------------- Life lesson: If you’re being chased by a lion, you’re on a horse, to the left of you is a giraffe and on the right is a unicorn, what do you do?

| I live in Kentucky but I use “ manufactured sand “ basically crushed concrete. The place I buy it has a concrete plant nearby and claims its metal free. Says it concrete left on trucks they didn’t use or user rejected due to slump issues. We put it in all equipment sheds we use for storage only, hay sheds, cattle working barn and flat spots , I.e. lots in front of barns sheds where it doesn’t wash with heavy rains. It’s cheaper than anything from the quarry. If you get on it when first spread it packs well and stays packed. So far we have Never found any metal in this product knock on wood. Maybe they have something similar where you are. Or try thr crushed concrete they have ran across magnets. I use to haul a semi load of skids in to be ground for mulch and in hard times bedding. They would grind skids and the ground wood was passed over a series of magnets and I never found a nail, staple or piece of metal in the mulch. They make terribly strong electro magnets nowadays, just visit any big scrap yard. Best of luck, Keith |

Our drain field when built this house is that sock over pipe with the crowned 'Chamber' over them to keep them from being crushed, had not seen such until the install. |
