for example...doesn't look like much but here's about 1800 pounds of mortar and stone for our fireplace. The stone company dumped the crate of goods strategically on the 1st dock ( where everybody launches and pulls their boats ) , so I had to rush in, pull everything out of the crate and load it onto the pontoon. Of course, when I got home, I had to unload everything and bring it up to the house. Did I mention it was a 90 degree day??
