Good morning. A frosty 37* here. I don't think my 14" TC Contender makes a good CC handgun 
.
.
2x2x6 about 4000 pounds each.
Hauling isn’t a problem. I’ve got a 25,000 pound trailer . Problem is, the guy has no way to load them on site. Which is 45 minutes away. So I’d have to haul my loader each way, which weighs 13,000 pounds itself. So to get all 14, I’d have to make 5 trips, with the loader. So I’m passing. Which sucks cause I need the blocks and they’re only 20 bucks a piece

Those the interlocking variety? I used to use our waste concrete at the ready mix plant to make those. Sold pretty much as fast as we made them.
Was someone on here looking for these? I thought I saw something posted..
yep. Thought I could save a ton of money on the retaining wall I have to build

They will build a heck of a retaining wall. Know anybody with a 10 wheeler dump truck that works cheap?
no but like I said, I can haul them, its the loading and unloading problem. Only have one loader
Rent another loader?
1500 bucks... for the day
Dang that is crazy! no where near that much here...

That eats the cost savings up in a hurry
if i frame and build the retaining wall, have concrete hauled in, its about 1100-1200 bucks. 20 bucks each for these, 280 bucks, would save me 800ish, not counting the fuel to haul them, but with the loader having to go both ways, I'm looking at 6 loaded trips, which means about 75 bucks round trip with that much weight.
looks like its gonna be easier just to frame and pour. and less time consuming.

I think they wanted dog dishes. Not full wheel covers.

close to 2 hours per trip
i might want one for a wall hanger
probably, if not longer. It usually takes me about 20 minutes or so to load and boom the thing correctly. Count in probably about the same time to load 3 blocks each trip. so yeah, 2-2.5 hours per trip
only 1 rental place nearby so they kind of jack the prices way up. but whats dumb is its 5500 for a month...
