Another load of Potatoes!!

21 years ago

this was a scene out of the movie deliverance Â as the story goes!

http://www.sunderland.ca/img_0852aa.jpg

-Seen remenants of stone from roadside (Limestone Caprock)

-Thought I would investigate Â No Tresspassing signs and large dogs!!!

-Found a phone # - and called

-Found a reasurring voice on the other end Â said might sell to you if your worthy

-Arranged visit (wore flak jacket in case)

-Real nice stone, proprioters well okay for now Â theyÂr sitting on a landscape gold mine.

-Success they will sell to me because I am a hack (landscape grunt)

-Arrange truck and phone to explain not to shoot I come with $$

-DE-BRIEF the trucker to forget about Quarry wearabouts or he will suffer the my wrath

-truck gets loaded all fine and landed at jobsite

MORAL OF THE STORY

If you want premium stone Â eliminate the middleman Â kiss up to the red neck quarry owners Â arrange your own truck Â and last but not least pay 50 % of list

Can't wait to see the pics. We just had 23 Ton of flagstone delivered, arranged our own delivery with the quarry owners and paid 1/2 of cost locally. I spend my mornings digging out sod, need to see your pics so I can get some inspiration to continue projects.

Ian, congratulations on that superior load of potatoes! They are drop-dead gorgeous. We've never met a rock we didn't like. ;-)

Good luck with getting your project done before the snow flies, time grows short up here too. Karen
