Where to get ...Sand?

[cattitude]

Yes I do read them. Well most anyway, except those on ignore.

Like anything else, I get several opinions, and try the ones that make the most sense and are do-able. I don't just take the first bit of advice down the pike.

Ahh...that explains it.

Just wondering. When you ask specifically where to get sand and someone tells you, specifically, where to get sand and there is no response.....

Because while I am still replying to someone, I get three or four replies before I get a chance to read them. It's impossible to read replies that are posted before my machine refreshes the page.

Post 9 and 13 both said AAA. It may cost more than $`15. , but if you need 30 bags, which is what it sounds like, it'll still be much cheaper than bags of sand at Lowes.

Well I thought that too. When I lived in Calvert for ten years, I knew which places were the best places to buy *gravel* (since everyone or nearly everyone in the Ranch Club has a gravel driveway) and landscaping sand (because my next door neighbor put it down before he place his paving stones). Now that I live in St Mary's, I didn't have a clue.

Check Kerads butt. I am thinking he has been told to pack sand so many times he probably has a few cubic yard of it up there.

:snort:

Does anyone have a better solution?

Yes. I will trade you your two dogs for my evil 16 year old girl. She will not chew your waterbags or crap on your carpet, I promise.

You could also fill the bag with gravel instead of the sand. There are two Chaney locations, the concrete plant across Wildewood, and a sand & gravel operation off of Great Mills Road that sell both materials. The Sand & Gravel operation is called Southern Materials & is on Quatman road right by the McKays & Mayfaire apartments. Their number is 301-862-3311. The concrete plant can sell both materials when they have excess available & their number is 301-863-5522. Hope this helps!

Why not fill some jugs with concrete

Milk jugs, water hoses, buckets, turtles, toads, 2x4's, indoor/outdoor carpet, tree limbs......

and batteries, charcoal, mice, shoes, socks, firewood, shrubs ...

If the little fyckers can get ahold of it, they'll chew it up.
