I'd rather do this than cleaning, at least I feel like there is a goal. With cleaning it can be more abstract, because the place is pretty clean right now. --- Show me a man who resorts to violence and I'll show you a man who's run out of good ideas Phil Funnie <cite>mattnd2007 posted [p:904549977] in Sorting sa...

I think this is old sand that had previously been sorted to get a different size.
