RJB Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 Ok, I went ahead and spent $760 for two rocks. One is very large and weighs in at 42 Lbs and the much smaller one is about 3 Lbs. Once I receive these, (about 2 weeks), I will post in the prepping part of this forum. Im a bit scared though. There is going to be more rock to remove than I have EVER removed and ive been doing this for 26 years! But if you dont gamble sometimes one can miss out on a great oppertunity! My fingers are crossed. I am super nervouse! Well, and quite excited too! RB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RJB Posted September 19, 2017 Author Share Posted September 19, 2017 Hi @JohnBrewer, shipping really hurt! It was just over $360. Im still feeling the sting of that one, but I think once I get started on it, the pain may go away? RB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RJB Posted September 19, 2017 Author Share Posted September 19, 2017 Ha! @JohnBrewer, I wish it was peanuts? This is the very first time in my life that ive spent that kind of moneys!!! Another reason im nervous. I just hope it works out in the end? Ive spent moneys before that didnt work out, but if you dont gamble sometimes?
