    I’d like to get a couple large boulders for my landscape and as it turns out they are really expensive. A 3000 pound rock was $500 before tax plus $200 delivery charge and they might crack the sidewalk. Does anyone have a hook up or ideas for this situation?

    Long story short I have brake fluid stains on my concrete garage floor. I can’t get rid of the stains. What’s your magic potion of chemicals to get stains cleaned up. I have tried kitty litter for 24 hours, soap and water, simple green and even a can of coke.
