I spread the bag of sand topping mix I bought last night. One bag went further than I expected it would. It covered about half of the area around the fire pit. I think another two bags should finish the job. Unfortunately, I know all of the sand topping mix at my local Lowe’s is ruined, so I checked the orange store, but none of the stores within 50 miles have any at all.

The one bad corner in the bag I bought last night was a bigger pain in the ass to deal with than I thought it would be, so I’m definitely not going back to Lowe’s. The Lowe’s in the next town has some in stock, but I’m worried all of theirs is ruined, too. Maybe the truck got caught in the rain, and that’s why the orange store doesn’t have any. I guess we’ll find out.
