Big thanks to Arthur, Chuck, and Chuck for coming out and helping me Saturday morning!


All raked, ready for seed and straw.

the concrete is coming THE CONCRETE IS COMING.


I figure I'll do a little blogging since that's what this is. Things at the house are progressing. The old saying things take twice as long and cost 4 times as much (or something like that) is very true. These pictures were taken tonight. (9-16-10) The concrete truck is coming this Saturday at 7:30am.We'll be pouring the front walk, porch and basement. I'll be raking the yard Saturday evening and Sunday morning if anyone wants a workout...
I put the rebar in the form for the walk and set it up using some bricks broken in half. This will prevent the walk from cracking when it freezes.
Two more loads of crushed stone in the driveway, this stone seems to pack really tight when driven on.
More rebar on the porch to tie the two halves together. Hopefully it won't split in the middle.

The man with the plan.
