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 -

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.

I bet the stamped concrete is high $$$.

 

probably not as much as you're thinking. now, im not saying it was cheap, but it was a little bit more than putting in a wood deck like i planned originally

 

heres some pics from today...poured and stamped....rest will be done tomorrow...
