A couple weeks ago, I had 51 tons of crushed graded stone delivered for just under $1,000,,
That price included spreading to my specifications.
If you built a crusher, where would you get 51 tons of raw material?
Does anyone have any idea how much labor is involved in loading 51 tons of rock,,,
repeatedly until you have the right size?
A had 17 tons of crushed rock delivered for my SIL while he was on vacation.
When I called to tell him the stone was on its way, he questioned whether he should get two loads.
When he got home, he stated the 17 tons was WAY more than he expected.
If the year were 1880,, the DIY rock crusher MIGHT be a good idea,,,
