Default ...... sand .... $3.25/60-lbs

To envision what the Weirs sandy beach would be like if it was totally natural, look at the rocky shoreline that's under the boardwalk, and extend that rocky shoreline all down through the existing, large sandy beach, all the way to the channel. Without no brung-it-in-here sand over these long here, last 89-years ..... it would be what beach? ..... where's the beach? ..... the Weirs without a beach!

Starting way back about 1930, sand from dredging the Weirs' channel, and outside sand pits has been used to build up the sandy beach, so this is nothing new. There's probably people on this forum who were there, at the time, back in 1930, and took a b&w photo of the sand getting dumped.

Bring it on, fix the beach, make it a totally beautiful, luxurious sandy beach that shines twinkly bright in that NH sunshine ..... even on a cloudy day!

For $3.25 the nearby Lowe's has 60-lb bags of all-purpose sand, good for winter snow/ice traction and landscape stuff ..... so why not go to Lowe's for the new sand ...... plus Lowe's will deliver with a 10% discount for the veteran who pays for it ...... making it $2.93/bag ....besides that, Lowe's sometimes has broken, distressed bags for just one dollar ...... just $1.00 .....plus a horrible foam cup of horrible courtesy coffee ...... oopsie-doopsie ...... wrong thread here? ....
