I wonder how much it all weighs. At least it sure rode nice and smooth

[jocko]

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say it weighs too much for your truck. Or, at the very least, it's a bit too long for your truck... By about 8 ft. A red flag on the end of that won't mean much.

Building a new deck?

Wonder if Chevy ever offered an extra long bed, like a 16 footer?

Gotta get a bigger bed...

Well you may have put it to rest, yet, I, Still believe she will be at it again.

Trouble never sleeps!

When I put an addition (650 sq ft) on my previous house, the yard wanted a couple hundred bucks to deliver. So I used my FIL's (now my) truck and rented a car hauler. 42 2X6s, enough 2X4 studs to run 90 linear feet, plus partitions, a bunch of 4X6s for girders under the floor joists and 38 10-foot 2X4s for the rafters. That was probably as much as a car, by weight. Sad part is I had to load and unload it. I was one tired boy that day. 125 feet from the street to the back of the lot where I piled the lumber.

Steve, I'd have backed up to the site.

KCSA, yes. This one is smaller, only a 9x14 with one set of steps. For my sister I built a 14x34 with 2 sets of steps. And a 12x10 shed. Her neighbor saw the deck and wanted one also.

Sister is gearing up for a garage in ththe spring. I am not worried, nephew who bought the truck is coming to live in my house. I'll include the use of his truck in the agreement

[yuccales]

Doing what she's built to do!

Doesn't look like "too much weight". I've have a ton and a half of stone in mine an I barely squatted enough to sit on the helper springs. Use but don't abuse is what I say. It's not a car.

[Hubscrub]

I love hauling a load in my truck for some reason lol. looks good

If you figure board footage say 2x6x10 is about 10 board ft. X 3 lbs. Board ft. For dry timber. Be about 30 lbs. You can figure the weight that way. Lots of math but it works.

[Mollzyie]

That's not bad ... I'm more impressed that u got home without getting a ticket 😆

I wish! The street I used to live on wasn't wide enough to even get the truck with the trailer into the driveway, and there was only 5 feet between the garage and the fence. You guys with acreage have it good, that way. I've been in this house for 15 years, and I'm considering moving to where there is some acreage, but still in the same city. I like it here, even if it does get blazing hot in the summer.
