Happy Sunday morning everybody.
The step/siding deal is amazing Jay. Done by *professionals* no doubt.
I managed to finish my sidewalk project up yesterday and got to sleep in for the first in a long time today.
I looked at the numbers from my summer of fun. It wasn't so fun....
-22 yards of concrete in 3 different slabs.
-1550' of 1/2" rebar.
-3,807 paver bricks.
-1 1/2 pallets of retaining wall block.
-620# of polymeric paver sand.
-5.5 tons washed sand.
-Over 29 tons of 3/4 minus gravel.
-About 30 trips with my trusty F-350 at 1.5 tons per load.
-Two shovels.
-8 Diamond saw blades.
-One Skilsaw.
-A few hours of labor.

Good evening guys. Got a little more work done on the siding, went to mom's and mowed and took her to the grocery store, then went to a movie and dinner with my bride of 23 years to celebrate our anniversary.
