Actually, if I were to limit myself to 1000 pounds, it'd be 3 trips by
my math (assuming 50 pounds per bag of rock/sand).
I've decided to get to Lowe's early tomorrow and take their loaner
truck. They'll help me load it, and my 75 minutes starts when I leave
the parking lot. That'll give us about 35 minutes to unload the 250
bricks, 42 bags of rock and dozen bags of sand at the house (20 minute
drive each way). For only $20. Beats punishing the Caravan in 3 trips
that'll take all morning.
