    Ayup. However, being that my wood n steel trailer showed up all misbuilt, i dont have a better option. Thankfully thats not something i been doing a lot of this year.

    @D.Tibbitt that dent damage can easily happen on aluminum with concentrated weight n a rock caught underneath. I make a point to sweep out underneath/bottom stringers of pallets when they come from places that have loose gravel/stones/millings on the ground. Just something that hard being pounded against the deck going down the road gonna cause damage.

    I'll add a little about aluminum decks. Any time something gouges the deck enough to leave a hole or a scar it also creates a stress riser that will eventually start cracking. It might not happen for a while but when it starts it's a bugger to keep up with.
    I'm speaking of the older aluminum decks, maybe the new ones are a better grade. I hope so.
    If the company doesn't care that's their business but I feel sorry for the next guy to buy that trailer.

    Unfortunatly no . I kept telling myself to get some pictures before the loads were finished and everytime id show up , it would completely leave my mind. They built a couple huge rock walls and porch area, they are building a waterfall with what smaller rock is left ... man i sure wish i wouldve got some pictures , dangit :(.

    This is the closest i have, but it doesnt show anything really

    Oh and by the way that it somebodies house , something like 12 bedrooms and 17 bathrooms, indoor pool and jacuzzi , the whole works.. Ridiculous.

    I'm kind of embarrassed now - didn't realize someone from the forum was hauling into my little summer getaway cabin.

    Seriously, some of these rich people's houses... even if someone GAVE it to me, I wouldn't be able to afford the utilities, let alone the property taxes.

    U aint kidding ! That picture is in the poor side of the city lol There is a couple other jobsites we go to inside a gated community . have to get a frickin background check and a clearence card just to get in this place. There is no house in this whole city that is less than 2 million dollars. Some of them have to be worth 20 or more million

    I posted it a long time ago, but two of us had to go to Aspen (yeah, THAT Aspen) to deliver some concrete barriers. (they were building a house, had to protect the drop off from the road).

    OMG
    1. not designed for trucks at all.
    2. tore heck out of trailer tires getting it turned around.
    3. every single person who drove by (middle of the little road of course) gave us dirty looks (cuz all their stuff just magically appeared and didn't show up on these dirty trucks).
    4. These were not mansions. I mean nice looking outside (and i'm sure they were insane inside) but not like that mansion above. I looked them up on Zillow. The house i was parked across from was 10 million dollars!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! all of them were in that 8 to 12 million dollar range.

    Found it, see attached. Yes, i had to flip a u-turn in that little thing there. that house that you can see in the pic zillowed at 10 million. of course that was last year, this year, probably double.
