1st Gen. Lunch Table - General Discussion

I can't my fence door isn't wide enough, I'm gonna need a drop pump. It was my first thought, then I measured the door, and its a solid no go

 

Had a truck bring some out before and still had to dump it one barrow at a time and didn't use a boom but IIRC was like a yard total.

 

prices will vary by location. You'd need local feedback.
I'm curious to see if short shot plus install wider gate is cheaper than a pumper truck delivery. Is there room to widen the gate? Seem like a narrow gate is the sort of thing that is annoying many times over a lifetime in a house.

 

I'm pretty sure they'll charge you extra for a small load. I don't remember off hand how much a small load is though. 2 yards is about 90 80lb bags of quickrete, so that's probably a no go. I forsee many trips with a wheelbarrow in your future.

 

A pump truck is stupid expensive. Think over $1k an hour. I doubt they'd even come out for anything less than a 5,000 ft² pad. Can you take a section of fence down to get a shorty trailer in there? A warning though, they're a bitch to back up. I had to back one up to an 18" wide pole light base in my work van. Took me about 1/2 an hour to get it spot on.



Edit: I looked it up. Says it's usually around $800 and hour to rent one. I imagine they'll have a minimum of 4 hours or so. Maybe 2. We always charged gate to gate(time we left till time we got back) for heavy equipment.

 

Around here the redy mix places have a four yard minimum. You can get a single yard delivered, but it will cost you the same as getting 4. Current rate is around $130 a yard for standard mix design at 3500psi.

Are you planning on placing and finishing yourself?

A small crew could knock out the whole job (form/pour/finish) in an afternoon.

South Texas has A LOT of pump companies, but I don't think anyone is coming out for 2 yards. A trailer pump/line pump is what you would be looking for.

This. Pricing will vary wildly based on location.

 

It might be a bit slower and laborious but could you get 90ish bags of quickrete delivered and hire some cheap labourers to haul it in and help mix and spread it? Might be cheaper overall than the other options just be a bit more work.

 

This place is fun. Haven't been in 5 years.

 

What’s the best ride? I’ve been by there twice and never had to time to stop and visit.

 

One of the few places left not owned by Six Flags or Cedar Fair

 

Didn't stop there but was down in that area last month. Lots of stuff to do down there.

 

I'm not sure yet. There are so many now. 3-4 new ones since I was last here. Some legitimately scare me. They have two wooden coasters that are really good.

About to get on the Mystery Mine.

 

Watch out for your cornhole, bud!

So? Did you whistle??

 

He musta, I think they got'im.

 

Lol I thought of that as well. But I'm just gonna do a pole barn style construction. It's the easiest way.

 

I survived and had to pay for this epic picture..

 

Makes sense. Shouldn't be hard to find cheap labor. Just pull up to Home Depot and see who wants to ride in the truck bed.

 

Definitely on my bucket list when I visit Tennessee or where ever it is in that area haha

 

That wouldn't be a strong recommendation for their health. Lol I have a truck and I like bumps lmfao

 

I like the color and the juice line down the board!

 

I like my cow.

If there's one thing I got blessed with, it's an ability to treat my meat.

 

Do you treat your meat like it owes you money?

 

I treat it like it needs to get in mah belly.

​

 

Clip it's horns/wipe it's ass/send it out... whoa
My brain can smell that, I may have allegedly salivated.

 

Ummm invite lol

 

6.2 obtained

 

Gonna build me another 2UZ-FE, but it's gonna get .002 over bored, heads are gonna get decked, bump it to 10.54. :1 CR, toss this Tubo kit on it

Forged Weisco Pistons and bearings, JE forged H-Beam rods, add a dual core intercooler, swap the terbskis out for a T4 30mm VGT diesel turbo, make all fasteners ARP bolts and studs, put a Walbro 430 in the tank and put in 12 holes, and the have it set to 12 to 15 psi. Looking for about 500H/ 450+ T at the rear wheels.

Realistically this can be done for about 7100 with a tune. She won't be that fast with the 4.08s but my God will she pull.

 

weld the best parts of those 2 engines together.
