Yeah, I get it. I did the mixing in a wheelbarrow usually two bags at a time, and rolled it down the hill about 100ft to the site, and...

I'm indeed fortunate. Bought land in Tennessee when it was cheap. Wow ... that was an experience. This kind of work is for a young man...

Damn, nice work! They won't be going anywhere. I'm jealous of the view and excavator. I busted something in the gear box of my PTO...
