Hauled 4yrds of black mulch a couple weeks ago. I honestly don’t know how I lived with an S10 for so long.

I'm at the point where I don't think I'll ever not own a gmt400 lol. They simply refuse to die

You don’t see many 20+ year old Fords or Dodges in my parts, but I don’t go a day without seeing at least 1 GMT400. It’s usually multiples.

Yeah if they don't rust away or get catastrophically wrecked, I think the 400 trucks are otherwise pretty bulletproof

I’m not sure how much I hauled. Neighbor had a pile of free mulch. So I had to double shovel it. I’ll probably have to get some more.

The mulch was the easiest part of this whole project. Getting the pavers to work out nicely on the tree rings required multiple trial and error on enlarging the circle manually after using a bedscaper machine.

This is all I had left of the river rock (so 200 or so pounds left out of the 15 tons).

Gross. That’s some serious manual labor. FWIW, the 8’ bed holds 2yrds, so it took a couple trips.

Because I wasn’t tired enough, I decided to do a little organizing of my diecast square body collection.

Also moved these over the weekend - 978 pounds of boulders. I deadlifted each one 3 times and carried to the various locations. I opted to not use my 400 as lifting these into and out of a lifted truck wasn’t going to end well. They are now placed around the landscape beds. Wife said she wants more

I considered it. Rental was going to be 750 for 3 days, and it would have tore my walkout hills and front sod up. So I opted to buy a pull behind dump cart which helped immensely. No wheelbarrows used.
