southdown / yardright sand in WI?

[Sea~Horse~Whisperer]

#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#I have called a few of Home Depots around the area and I can't seem to find any southdown or yardright tropical play sand. Does anyone know if there is any around? I don't mind driving for it, since I plan on buying lots when I find it again.(just because I can never find it when Ineed it) I will need about 900 lbs of it, lol. (22 bags)It seems to begetting harder and harder to find.#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#I went to the LFS and they want $20.00 for a 20lb bag or sand. NOT !! I can buy livesand for that.#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#Thanks,#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#Angie#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#

The HD in Lake Delton has had it every time I've gone looking for it, I need some more myself so I'll swing by this evening and see what they have on hand.

Struck out at the Lake Delton store.... all gone :( Fella said he'd find the guy who got it for them last time, also said he'll call around to try to locate a bunch. Promised a callback one way or the other over the next couple days..... we'll see.

If you find any hollar, we need about 300-400lbs or so too....

I used to work for southdown cement company and they were bought out by cemex I don't know if they exist in the sand business any more

Thanks for looking Dakar. I have called just about EVERY HD within 100 miles of us and no luck. Hopefully he will find some and beable to have it shipped to his store. If there are enough people interrested we could probably buy up an entire pallet.

hahaha if he can get a pallet load... there will be instructions not to unpack it, just leave it on the forklift so it only needs to be lifted once and the whole thing will go in the bed of my truck!

carpenterwrasse; unfortunately nobody seems to know for sure if they will be remaining in or out of packing sand or not, nobody has been able to get any straight answers.... but we can only hope.... the idea of paying $30 for a 20lb bag of the the same stuff we were getting for $6 for 50lbs is pretty horrific.

i'll have to see if my brother has any information he still works for the company

[carpenterwrasse]

my brother said southdown is gone it would be packaged under the cemex name now coming possiblely out of ohio

[dakar]

Thanks for the info... now we have something to look for!
