Anne, I wouldn't use old garbage bins. There could be contaminants in there.

Get a couple rubbermaid storage containers.

I would use a heater as well. More of the crawly things will survive.

Just got a call from Josh. He's pick up all the rock and salt!

Everything should go as planned. Pickup for Calgary should be on the evening of Oct 30 (Saturday). He does need someone to bring a scale to the pickup point to weight the rock though. So if you can go early and bring a scale, please do.

If you have any questions/concerns, please call Josh on his cell at: 780-953-5311.

I have a bathroom scale here. Not sure how accurate it is though. If someone has a better one, please bring it along.

One final update:

I just spoke to Josh, he's leaving Vancouver right now (12:30PM AB time), so he should be in Calgary at about 9 or so?

A couple of notes:

Ann (I believe that was the name) - Josh was only able to get 97lbs of your rock since they had to lighten the load so they wouldn't crush the rocks on the bottom of the pile.

Also, I believe someone either in Calgary or Edmonton, has ordered 2 Maxi-Jet 400, but they only had one available. As a result, Josh will bring one back with him today and JL's will ship the other to you free of charge.

If you have any questions/concerns, please call Josh on his cell.

Thanks.

Wow... no doubt. That's fast. I drive fast and it takes me 6 or so hours just to get from Calgary to Kelowna.

Hear ye hear ye,

Well, it looks like Josh has hit a spot of traffic, so his ETA has been pushed back one hour (to 10pm).

I'll let you guys know if there are any more developments.
