No, as a matter of fact I bought the gravel already sized. Old guy at the yard with a bit of wood with holes drilled through it sits all day beside the pile and sorts the gravel :)

As an aside, I'm so stingy with the gravel and it seems to slowly disappear into the ground. Every once and awhile I scrape the driveway with the blade on the tractor to pull the stuff up and spread it around. I really need some serfs with a harrow.

So in which division of Felder International do you work? 

cheers
