Yesturday when I told wife i wanted to get rid of all the river rock and block we have around the house she said she'd post it online for free and people would come get it.
Sure as shit 20ish people have messaged her to come get it and some is gone already.
Mind blown. People eat that shit right up and less work for me to do

The guy charged me for 5 yards to backfill the patio I did. He ended up leaving to get another few yards. I asked how many more yards of dirt I'll need to level out the swail in my backyard and he told me about 3 or 4. I say about 5 or 6. But for a few hundred....I'll let them do the work. Lol. Been planting flowers, trees, and bushes in my yard and laying down that mulch.
Another adult thing.....Property Taxes. Just got mine in today. Went down $50 compared to last year. The taxable rate went down.
+1 with HD. Sure the garden section is yuppy and lumber is shit but otherwise I love it. I've returned flooring that was like 4yrs old and they didn't bat an eye.

I think an important milestone in growing up is when you realize older adults than you aren't all competent, smart people. Sooner or later, "kids" will realize they should believe in themselves and what they think even when older people tell them they're wrong. Maybe the older people are right, maybe they're the morons.
Some people get this when they're 10. Others never learn. Took me until I was around 25.

Depends on how much dirt you need. My backyard has a swail and a low point for the water to drain to a manhole. Last July I poured a patio with a walkway that goes along the side of the house to the patio in the backyard. Since there is a big swail and to keep the patio leveled (with a 2% pitch), it created a drop-off on the patio. I paid the landscaper $400 to backfill 5 yards of dirt. It took them about 7 yards or more to do it and no additional charge.
I asked how much dirt to even out the swail, and the landscaper said it'd be about 4 more yards. My guess is more but he'll only charge for the 4. I will need to put some kind of drainage pipe to keep the water flowing to the manhole though and I'll be good.
I did those when I was a kid lolWe took the kids to HD. They do free kids projects first Saturday of the month. Today was a planter windmill, next month is a car.

When I worked at HD many years back, I'd take each kit and build them for the hell of it. Lol. Now I do those with my daughter.
