We did get the 2nd load today and will get back at it on Tues morning....they are gonna be busy tomorrow, so it will give us a day to start prepping an area for "installation"....they are happy that we are getting this out of their way and they are unsure if we will continue getting it....cause many have said they would and never show up, or get 1load and never seen again........I told them ya don't have to worry about us....we will have the pile gone by the end of the week...they say they have more...so, we'll see how much more they have and how much "energy" we have to get it.........I have waay too many ideas in possible "projects".....

I didn't post pics of the stuff we got, because I hadn't taken any....so, I got one this morning.....
....I know it doesn't look like much, but it is 2 loads of it....with tranny problems on the truck, I didn't want to stress it...plus they live on a dirt/sand road with pits everywhere....also, we had to load and unload it so trying to keep from having a heart attack........this next pic shows the floor of the garage the man did....course, I know it will be his "pride and joy" that will garner the attention....
....I believe it will do great for a patio and a few other "projects".....we get back to getting it tomorrow morning and the "word of the day" here is SORE........but we are just fine.....I did the cooking today and we had Joyce's favorite....BBQ chicken wings....
....along with some potato salad....stretched out some and then got the yard mowed....I told Joyce that it looks like we will be busy from the heat break in the fall to the heating up in spring....I'm still searching for other free material.....

That stone will lend itself to all sorts of projects. You are right about a little at a time, don't overheat and make yourself sick. Fall through spring is your working time. Summer is do what you have to do, do it early and then get inside!

It does get hot and humid here, but mainly the temps stay in the low 90s during the summer, because we are only 30-40mi from the gulf....further inland gets in the high 90s and over 100 some days.....the almost daily afternoon showers lends us a break from the heat, but the moisture turns into humidity come sun up.....but, we are still careful and try to avoid the 2-4pm hrs outside....that is our nap time....

Yeh, we got 2 more loads today and have 2 to get tomorrow and that will finish it.....today was enjoyable....the people are some really nice people....there were some really large pcs there and the man drug a sledge hammer out to where we were and asked if I wanted to try and use his "small" hammer....I said sure!.....I grabbed it and be sat down in his chair to "watch" me....he said, I hope ya can swing it....I told him it wasn't a problem and I swung it and hit the chunk...hit it again and it broke into 4 pcs....he said, oh my!!....ya look like ya know what ya are doing....me, Yep...I used one a time or 2....
....he replied, ya ain't no city-slicker are ya?.....me, Nope...I told ya I've done physical labor my whole life....he said he could tell.....
.....he used to install chain-link fence for a livin and has his whole 7acres fenced in it....they have a really nice place and they keep it maintained very well, tho the road to get there is the absolute pits.....he did say if this wasn't enough to let him know and he could probably get some more delivered there for us to pick-up....I tanked him and told him we'll see how far we get with what we have, but sure appreciate the offer....

Except in the heat and with your heart, swinging that sledge was probably kinda hard on you!

Not really....I did stop several times to catch my breath and get in the shade for a few minutes....but, swining the sledge wasn't near as taxing as loading some of the bigger chunks....Joyce helped on a few, but she loaded most of the smaller pcs....we got done before the real heat began....we were back home a little after noon, so wasn't too bad....course I was sweatin like a mule....and probably was smelling like it too.....

PEE YEWWWW!!!
Heck, I was sweating just filing the metal strike on the door frame so the latch could go in. Clearly things are shifting. New door professionally installed in a nearly totally rebuilt building (including the foundation) in 2013 and the latch is hitting the bottom of the strike.
