BCF Shop

So how big is this and what kind of dirt cost were involved if you don't mind sharing. IF I ever get to this point I have a grade I have to level.

I'll get the bill for the dirt later today as long as its enough and more doesn't need to come tomorrow. I can share that cost later.
The shop is 60x60 6" thick slab
Front corner is at ground level back left needs to be brought up 2ft and the right side needs to be brought up 3ft. So far 7 loads of 15yds of sand rock with 5 more planned to come today.

This would actually be really helpful to me. I'm fairly certain I have a 2' or more drop.

Its taking more fill than we thought, had a compaction test done and I needed to go deeper. Now Im 309yds in with more coming today.

Yes 15 more today so 444 yards total, most trucks were 15 yards and some were 12. So we are over 30 dumptruck deliveries in.

Know how you feel bud. I had the dirt, just had to buy a dump truck to move it. It'll all be worth it when the shop is done.

Note to self start looking for a dump truck I can drive with no cdl and a source for cheep dirt close to the house.....

I didn't buy a dumptruck but I bought the dozer to do the clearing and grading, maybe it saved me a little in the long run. Wish I had known you had a truck lol.

My old dump truck wouldn't be great on the road. It's a mid-80's Ford F700 with a 370ci gas engine and a 2-speed rear end. Great old farm truck but not something I'd want to drive loaded on the road.

Think it might be 1/4 mile from where we loaded the dirt to where we dumped it. Never got above 3rd gear on the low side.
