After calling the stone yard every day for a week to see if they were back open, we finally caught a break and drove over to pick out the second pallet of rocks.
.
.
Naturally he wanted the one in the back, buried under another pallet, and red flagged it accordingly.
.
.
After the over loaded truck fiasco with the first batch, I’d managed to talk the husband into having this one delivered and breathed a sigh of relief he wouldn’t need to replace a vehicle….
.
.
Until I came home from the grocery store the next morning to find he went and picked them up himself anyway because delivery would be two weeks out. Patience? They name is not my husband’s.
He unloaded half of the first batch of rock in the middle of the garden bed and half around the edges, which made no sense to me as the ones on the edges would need to be moved again during construction… but whatever. I think we’ve established he does things his way, right or wrong.
.
.
The first batch he brought home was scattered on the truck bed, the second sat right on the axle. Say what you want about old Fords… this baby is hauling twice what’s she rated for.
.
.
So. The second pallet is here and ready to be deployed.
.
.
Even though the stones are considerably larger this time around.

River's world..... 
I have some family who are doing a retaining wall along the driveway. Similar story. Huge boulders and delivery delays and pickup issues and and and…
Keep your eye on the planting of the garden. It’s going to be lovely when it’s done!

By the time it’s finished it will probably be too late to plant anything.

In this case I think the destination > the journey. It’s been a rough go getting this done – just ask that truck for its opinion. Still, it will be great once it’s in place.

Can’t believe he picked the pallet of stones on the bottom.
Then again, having read you this long, I can believe it…

Of course he did. In the back, on the bottom and only that one would do.

Oh my goodness. What a PROJECT. But it appears to be coming along nicely, stubbornness aside.
