Read Me. Gravel.

Haha...now that you are sucked in. I am in Auckland and need about 50 cubes of gravel for my driveway. Anyone able to recommend somewhere? Anyone able to give me the 'hook ups'? There must be some quarry workers here?

Help would be wunderbar.

Cheers

Brett

PS...help me get a good rate, and there is a box of beer in it for ya.

50 cubic metres? That's a honking big driveway isn't it?

**Brett** · 23rd July 2008, 23:28

Indeed it is! about 350m2 to be exact. Then I still have to do pathways etc. Too much damn mud at the moment.

That is per litre my friend. I would need 1000 litres to make a cubic metre. The other one is per .32 m3 and I would need crap loads again...cheers though

If grit will do - you should be able to gather that much by sweeping the Summit Road here in Christchurch... and you'd be doing us a favour too.

Our neighbour got some gravel off trademe recently - mentioned it was 1/2 the price of the "normally available stuff". Was for their driveway too so it'll be the right stuff.

I'll have a wee ask...

I just asked - they rang around and finally sourced it from Perrys quarry on Bethells Road was the source - I understand they are the cheapest in the region and they use Jelovich ("Yellow Vitsh") transport - but I'm far from certain on the spelling of that.

Try pronouncing it "Dago Bitch" and see what happens

I used to know a chick with that last name and she really was a dago bitch lol.

I'm guessing Guido and Luigi would show up, and I'd spend eternity as part of the driveway being laid...
