Evenin’ all.
The job was harder than expected. I had allowed 30 minutes bobcat time, and it ended being 3 hours.
Pro tip. If a pit manager tells you that the limestone has been screened to remove large chunks, ask what size screen?
I was trying to spread 30mm of limestone over a driveway, but there were large chunks of limestone in the mix. I rang the pit manager and asked WTF? You said it was screened. “Yeah, a 75mm screen”. Duh!
Most of the arvo was spent picking out large chunks of limestone from 10 tons of it, because I couldn’t blade it off without chunks rolling up and carving big grooves in the finished surface.
Weathered limestone is hard AF. Harder than concrete.
