It’s sand. Loads of it. I’m basically a builder!

I don’t know what I was expecting, but this sand? It’s sandier than I imagined. Bought the large bag thinking I might have some left over — nope. Turns out no matter how much sand you get, you always need more. Perfect for mixing mortar, laying bricks, or pretending I know what I’m doing while my neighbour watches from over the fence. It’s a good consistency too — not full of random bits or lumps. Just pure, honest-to-goodness sand. Probably exactly what the pharaohs used to build pyramids. Probably. The bag’s big enough that dragging it up the driveway counted as my gym session for the day. Warning: if you accidentally split it, you’ll be finding sand in places you didn’t know existed for months. Also works great for filling kids’ sandpits — though be warned, once they see it, your “serious DIY” plans might turn into “impromptu beach day.” 5 stars. It’s a big bag of sand. It does exactly what it says — unless you’re expecting it to turn into glass, in which case, lower your expectations.
