I'm doing some work around the house - the result of framing houses through college is that even though I get to sit in a nice comfy air conditioned office all day now, my wife knows that I can swing a hammer with the best of them, so she won't let me hire anybody to do anything!
At any rate, I pulled the hardcovers off and headed to the local Home Depot. I started off with a dozen 2x10x16' boards and at the register had them add 20 2 cu ft bags of gardensoil for some raised beds we're putting in. They had a guy walk out to help me load them up. He took one look at the Av, glanced back at the boards and said, "We're going to have to cut those for you."
Ha! Nope. I dropped the midgate, dropped the tailgate and we loaded them in, no sweat. He couldn't believe it. I then headed over to the garden section and started tossing in the bags of dirt. The guy there came over, looked in the back and said, "Son of a B----, check that out!" Pretty soon I had three guys helping me load the Av (and giving it the full inspection). I've never had that kind of service before - Do you think there was an ulterior motive?
At any rate, unloading it at home was not as easy. My wife may be impressed with the Av, but not enough to come help me toss around lumber and dirt.
See, it IS a truck after all!
