    With a burn, even after you mover your hand from the heat source, it still will burn for a while. Need to put cool/cold water on a burn, not ice, as ice will damage the skin and or nerves.

    I put a clean white sock on my hand, and then set an ice cube over the burn so it wasn't directly on the skin. Did that for a couple of hours and then put aloe gel on it. It feels a lot better than it did. It's gonna look ugly for a while.

    The plan right now is shovel and wheel barrel... I am having a hard time visualizing how much stone this really is... I hope I can grade it off in about 12 cyprant man hours.

    I also need to rent a one man post hole digger. Any one have experience with the towable type like this http://www.crownrentalsinc.com/postholedigger1manhyd.jpg ? In have only used a 2 man before and it sucked running it with the wife...

    To give you an idea about how much stone that is, the box on my truck is 16 feet long- about 8 feet wide- and 5 feet tall. I can carry 20 tons legally and figure the box is almost full and will say the 15 ton's will be about 4 foot tall. On the ground, the pile can be 10-15 feet across and at least 4-5 feet tall. Wear gloves and get both a square nose and a round nose shovel. You may want to get some 5 gallon plastic buckets to move the stone. To help yourself, try and lay some 1/4 inch sheets of plywood on the ground for the pile to make it easier on your back. Good luck. This stone is also called Grade 8.

    I buy material by the cubic yard, not by the ton, because material has different density I can't even estimate that amount of material you are getting.

    As for the post hole digger, that is a good one to use. I'd prefer a tractor or skid steer mounted PHD but then you have to rent the tractor or skid steer too! But that said, the unit pictured is WAY BETTER than the type you hold (ice auger type).

    :coffee: morning rednecks and thugs!
    Sleeping on the cold bathroom floor in the fetal position sux!
    My lower back is in major pain now but at least the fever is finally gone. :)
    No more :puke: since around 2AM which is a good sign I guess.

    Try getting migraines several times a week.
    If I don't get it under control, I have to sleep in the bathroom
    I've don't it often enough to have a cot set up in the spare bedroom, that I can carry to the bathroom.
