      My neighbor has a friend who did some landscaping and has soil to   
   give away ...I need some fill for a shop expansion project , and it   
   looks like I'll be getting a load to supplement my garden topsoil . For   
   free , but I'll make sure he (the neighbor) gets compensated for at   
   least his fuel for hauling it to me .
