I can be there just after your finished, I'll bring BEER

  Kinda figured that.    I'm only doing 10x50 today and have 5 guys.   Another 10x50 this weekend and the driveway will be done.  Then comes the patio.

Damn, sounds like you are on a mission with the house.

Sully - How much is a yard of cement?

[SULLY0556]

   I sold an apartment unit to free up some $$ for home projects so now we can finally put in a yard and the hard surfaces around the house.  The cement up here is $100/yd with the mesh (delivered).  I'll save a ton by doing it myself.  I'm about $2k into landscaping between bulldozing, fill, and topsoil.  We're also adding a 200amp service, new carpeting, and hopefully a 12x40 deck this fall.  Lots of projects!!
   Next year I'll start on the basement and some solar projects I've been planning.

Michael FA   Gan, dressed in jeans and a dirty t-shirt, and bleeding from a fresh cut on his hand, walks into the private bedroom of Queen Elizabeth II while she is asleep and her personal guard out walking her dogs. FA   Gan had scaled the wall surrounding Buckingham Palace and gained entry without triggering any alarms. The two carry on a 12-minute conversation, while the intruder holds a jagged broken ashtray, before somebody finally apprehends him.


That's freakin sweet!!!!!! A real life ninja!

Still at it??  I remember the last time I was over at we were complaining about yard work. Bet it is going to look sweet.

I gave up on mine. All the rain we got down here=foot tall grass

Our driveway was $90/yd when we had it done. I pussed out and paid for the labor too. Ended up being $1400 I think?   20x40

[SULLY0556]

   Yea, it's expensive.   I'll do the labor so I have extra$ for other stuff.   My back yard is mostly sand so if I can swing it I'll need 10 or 15 loads of topsoil which is $200 per load.  At least the front and side yards are done and we have no houses or roads behind us so you can't see the back yard

Makes it nice when you can do most of your own work. I did just under 2 y ears of carpentry work which has payed off for me working on my garage.
