I'm hoping that me reseeding will help keep the rocks in my grass area from keep sprouting up.

haven't even done the front yard yet, just kinda letting it grow over, did have it excavated but have not begun the rock raking party yet.

so I would love to cover the front in top soil, the front side is where I'm going to rake the rocks to, as I use that as my driveway for the back entrance.

hey Ed, it is a whole lot easier to pave the whole dang thing, and paint the areas you want to be grass green.

Well, Tom that might be how it gets done in Joizy, but everywhere else uses grass.

Ed: If you get screened topsoil you won't have many rocks coming out of there.

If I was doing the job I'd bring in my rake just to put a nice uniform surface on everything.

Sorry for the delayed response, had a brake job to do on my sisters car.

I only did one coat, and a pretty thin one at that. I think I used 3 cans, But, I did it after it was installed, would be a lot easier job to do pre install. 4-5 cans would probably do a good 2 coats on it.

We had no idea there was red fuel in it, I can't believe the dealer sold it to us with that in it. I am very thankful that when we had our tank dipped last year on the highway the chick was to short to see we had a tank in our bed also...... Troy did some calling around and we found a place that wanted the fuel, we had over 20 gallons in it and didn't know it. The owner of the place we gave the fuel to is actually the same guy who used to own our truck, so we just basically gave him his fuel back. lol.
?? That is weird! I wouldn't think diesel would be any good after that long...

Thanks for the pics, though. Very nice to have that preview.
14MB isn't all that big. Sounds like someone needs a better computer...

thats my problem the rocks just keep comming up, you can rake it all you want but without the top soil I think I will always come up rocks.

everyone lets start a fight the rocks fund for me, for every $10 donated i'll send you a rock. we raise enough and I can get top soil. what ya say?

i'll post a few pics of the front tomorrow if I remember to snap a couple of pic with my shoe phone.

Ed

Sounds like you are going to hit the ground running!! I can only imagine how excited you are to be back out in the working world!!!!

I have no idea it is still safe to run in equipment, I hope if they do run in it theirs that it doesn't damage anything.

I now have that song stuck in my head, thanks!! I needed something to make me laugh after the little pissing match in the tech section.....

Not really... just got updated two weeks ago (evne though it is NOT the newest or fastest by any means).

The REAL problem is the network here at the office where everything has to get routed through the Houston Control Center (literally, that's where our corporate email servers are located) before coming to Birmingham, and then make it through the bandwidth issues in our own little haven before finally wafting onto my laptop at my desk.

i tried Ed, but the sob got a real big dog, and your niece told me if i took another step, she was gonna let him taste me.
now i ain't askeard of no stinkin regular dog, but that thing can dang near eat me in 4 bites.

so i decided to use my better judgment, and wait till your brother is away from home and dog, and whack him on the streets.
