I think my wife picked out the heaviest tile she could
At least it wasn’t the most expensive one I guess.

Just under 50 pounds a box. I’ve acquired 30 boxes so far, 20 to go. The real fun starts when it comes time to remove the 30 year old glue down hardwood. Can’t wait to see her face when I bring the garden hose in the house to soak it down so that it will release. I may wait for her to leave town for a few days as I know that’s not going to go over well. It’ll be worth the hernia when it’s all said and done I suppose. The place needs to be brought up to the current decade and I enjoy the work. Now where’s my ice pack...?

Well...if it wasn't the expensive one it's win-win. You get to save $ on the tile and a gym membership! Wink

My wife did that once, and picked it up herself. Apparently the fact that our Suburban would tow 5,000# made her think loading probably a ton in the cargo area was ok.

It looked like she had to tap the brakes to get the front end on the ground each time she wanted to steer.

I've done that several times with Toyota's

bought 50 'stones' for a back patio a week or so ago,
16x16, not quite 2" thick, cast type concrete stones,

and 4 bags of sand,

2000 Tundra was squatting,, but other than hitting the bump stops a few times, all was good,

nice easy drive home via backroads,

Heavy, but isn't it pretty?
