Gravel Delivery!

Today was about as gloomy, rainy, cold and windy day as can be!  Fortunately it stopped raining when our gravel was delivered.

 Hi Mick!


 After Mick unhooked the tailgate he backed up...


Then he raised the bed...


And as the gravel started to pour out he moved ahead slowly...


By the time he reached the end he was out of gravel. A PERFECT job!!


Thanks Mick!


Since he did such a great job there was minimal raking necessary...but rake we did....


Then Mr. Adams brought down the 4-wheeler to pack start to pack it down...forward...


And back...


And back....


AND BACK!!!!!


After using the 4-wheeler he brought down the pickup and packed it some more!  It looks great!  The net is back up and the signs are back out....back in business!

Only one customer today and one gift basket to make.  The gift basket was beautiful!!  Heavy too!


Here's a closer look at the tag...


And a peek inside the basket...


It was a good day!

    I bet that would have been pretty cool to watch him pour the gravel on the ground. The pictures are cool to look at. It really looks like you folks know what you're doing. I wish I had the know-how for things like this. Also; that basket is so beautiful!
