    Pile is better than a box of! Looking forward to seeing your finished pics Scotty. My parents made many many flower bed borders with wild caught mountain rocks.

    Interesting gift. A lot cheaper than diamonds that's for sure. Be interesting to see the builds from the start. Looking forward to the pics.

    Our house borders on steep rock ledge so rocks have been used for walls and landscape borders.

    Oh, and you might be a wood hoarder if...

    ...you have a scrench on your dashboard or in the cubby/cupholder!

    If we're laying over/under odds, I'm taking over 50% of FHC members have a scrench on the dash or cupholder of their truck/woodhauler...:whistle:

    Surprisingly I don't. Just one in the chainsaw toolbox and one or more on the workbench.

    I have several of those (for both Stihl and Husky) in the truck toolbox....
    I have at least 4 in my possession in the truck or truck toolbox currently. The hi-viz orange helps when you misplace them in the grass.....lol

    I love the captive nuts on the pro model saws like the 500i.

    I busted my azz this afternoon and got all of those barn stones stacked into neat stacks and now I'll wait for the right weather/ground conditions to get started on building the beds. No pics because it got dark on me. Took me almost 3.5hrs.....I'm pooped.....

    I'll take some pics tomorrow.
