Quick question. I need about half a ton of gravel for a patio. I rang my local building supplier/shop and was told oh I can make you the cement you need. He would put it into tubs for me and I could use it all for a low low price of €250!!!
So I told my dad this, and he cudnt stop laughing as cement and gravel is cheap. He told me to ring a few quarries and see. So I did, some wanted 5€ for it and others 25€. None of the people I contacted will deliver such a small amount.
Now my problem is I dont own a trailor or know anybody with a trailor/van.
Would I look stupid if I turned up in my car asking them to fill my boot with gravel? I might be able to get someone with a small van on a saturday. Would a van do?
Anyone know where else I could get/rob some?
I bet some of yis are p****** urselves laughing but I need gravel!!! Please help.
Thanks Blueshoes
Get someone with a van and a few heavy duty plastic bags - loads of fertiliser bags free on farms if you have any friends there. Take a couple of shovels and head off to the nearest quarry.
Alternatively you can buy 4 stone bags of gravel at most builders providers/DIY shops but its obviously a wee bit dearer.
You can buy it in bags, or you can borrow a car and trailed from someone who has a towbar. This would be the cheapest and easiest! Definitely don't put it in your boot!
