Hmm. I still have 5.5 tons of roadbase to spread, mainly in the carport. And it's colder here. Are you saying that I should dump the trailer and wait until spring?

And speaking of buying, somebody please talk me out of spending nearly $3K on a small multi process welder. I'm really lusting for one.
Don't buy it. There, did my best. :ROFLMAO:

Was it parked outside with moisture in it? It might be a block in the trailer. This has a lot of fine material plus some moisture and ended up extremely hard after i half assed spread it as it was getting dark

40 foot 1 trip container delivered. They were able to get lined up and backed in where I wanted with the container mule. Needed to jack it up to place posts underneath. Then I was able to push with my kioti and roll it back the last couple feet. It's now leveled and ready to fill

if the gravel or dirt gets wet, and temps freeze. you will be stuck with a pile of dirt until it thaws. but depends on how deeply it freezes, occasionally over the years i have dug trenches for electrical and wernt able to get covered immediately due to inspection delays, and the excavated soil freezes up solid block.

Yeah, it's outside, and in the shade with moisture in it.

On the positive side, it's only been in the single digits for a couple of nights, and I already got several scoops out of it with the little tractor the other day.
