Dumptruck of Slag

We have been waiting for this day to come for about 10 days now. We got a dumptruck load of slag for our the rest of our parking area at the house. Brad build this add-on part several years ago and it has had a dirt floor and can I tell you how much I hatee dust! So this year was the year for slag under the parking area...we park g'carts, "little red" the old red truck, and our camper under here so we are in and out a lots and I am so tired of everything being dusty under there when you get into it! This is what it looked like this morning right before the slag arrived. Brad was laying heavy cloth tarp down before we put the slag down.

The boys were PUMPED that we had a dumptruck come to the house this morning and do some work. They watched every move it made...boys just love trucks!

Pouring the first half of the load on the back side of the parking area. Slag is leftover parts (a bi-product) when they make beams they pour the steel into the molds to make the beam and the parts that splash out and fall down to the ground is called "slag". We have slag all down our drive way and to us it is better than gravel.

I made them take this picture...can't you tell!

Toby was loving all the rocks...before lunch...he got another utility sink bath!

Carson and Gage watching in amazement the other half of the dumptruck load being poured out.

Monkey Gage could not keep off the pile of slag...imagine that!

We had to run across the road to get some more black tarp and Carson said "I will stay here because I need to work shoveling this rock for you Daddy."
