evan9381 Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 it has started, and should be done wednesday - 8/29/09 - Removal of all old ****. ended up with a stack of bricks about waist high (im 5'11), i think i figured up to be 622 bricks...then we had a small pile of broken ones. luckily, i have neighbor kids who are always looking to make money (theyre like 14), got 2 of them over for a couple hours. told them i'd pay them $8/hr, but they did good work, so i gave them $25 each. not bad to help me pull up all the bricks/wood, take to garage, stack, remove a tree, and a couple other small things. me and g/f spent ~3 hours total working, they came at 11, did 2 hours. old - http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y267/evan938/IMG_2735.jpg?t=1251569477 http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y267/evan938/IMG_2736.jpg?t=1251569477 during - notice tree is gone in 3rd pic down http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y267/evan938/IMG_2738.jpg?t=1251569477 http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y267/evan938/IMG_2739.jpg?t=1251569477 http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y267/evan938/IMG_2740.jpg?t=1251569477 current - http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y267/evan938/IMG_2741.jpg?t=1251569477 http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y267/evan938/IMG_2742.jpg?t=1251569477 8/31/09 - day 1 of 3 concrete guy said he would need. pouring starts tomorrow http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y267/evan938/IMG_2747.jpg?t=1251780768 http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y267/evan938/IMG_2748.jpg?t=1251780768 http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y267/evan938/IMG_2749.jpg?t=1251780768 this thing is HUGE! i guess even measuring it out, it seemed like it would be a tad bit smaller. this is gonna be friggin sweet once its done. more pics tomorrow night...

Bam Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 mowing inside that corner by the house is going to be a bitch. meh, I would personally mulch it there and add a few large bushes to hide the AC unit.
