Ain't gonna happen. She asked me several times what I wanted. My response "For you to be happy.".

I'll have to say she brought this thing in under budget and it is a much more usable space.

Her painter is coming tomorrow to finish the living and dining room. She was looking for the number to her wrought iron guy while ago. She is going to change all the handrail out to iron.

probably drop that one in my daughter's purse when she sets off to college

My wife bought me a .357 S&W stainless revolver 35 years ago and it is unused, still wrapped in the oily paper.

My dad gave my youngest daughter a .little .22 revolver. When she lived in St Petersburg, FL it was stolen when someone broke into her house. When my mother passed, I found another nice stainless S&W .22 revolver in their safe. I gave it to my daughter.

KB I have been doing some moonlighting of my own. WE are building a pool at the kids house in our "spare time". I will get some pics.

Just a little side job

so my buddy that I was drunk with one night and ended up buying a small fishing boat, is building a little pool at his house right now

[davischevy]

Well I got a couple of pics tonight.

The three of us have done everything so far, but we are bringing our concrete crew out to Thursday to plaster the bottom. I want to get this thing done so I can get back on my K10.

How many gallons you figure it will hold?

That's a pretty big cement pond......

[special-K]

That's a lot of milk jugs

I bet you're right! Especially sport bike riders in prone position with their head cocked back to upright. That has to play havoc on the neck vertebrae, discs, and such.

They told me dirt bikes were for riding in the dirt. And that's what I do. I ride myself right into the dirt every time! You know, if you ain't riding hard you ain't ridin' sort of thing. I am careful around objects though. I'd like to think I'd be less aggressive if I ride now. Been years.

Yeehaw is right. Looks good.

[Ol Blue K20]

no one walked in it?...lol...Different thread. It's looking good

[Killer Bee]

thanks fellas, and with all due respect, bite your tongue Dale

crossing our fingers and everyone is on watch

that's the contractor there in front of the tree, our slab is plain but he's done a lot of really nice work in our neighborhood.. fair pricing and drinks cheap beer

be the weekend before we can dance on it but looking good, major improvement.. and my neighbor is a general, framing specialty.. he said that post had to go so they temped that brace and will clean it up later.. you can see the old beam bracket about 24" from left side.. when they can jack the beam with a temp post, they can level everything with a ledger or brace, whatever looks better.. no idea why the previous builder landed a post that close to the corner of the house

After looking at that pile of wood, I had to sit down and rest.

That's half of it today's cut the wood in rounds goes 15 ft past the quad up the hill. I do the wood on nice days bath on rainy days

Nice work fellers! I don't have any pretty pictures. I had to hand dig a bit more than 50' of foundation under the edge of a slab to a carport I'm closing in. My son helped me on 90% of that. Got the footer inspection on Thursday, formed the foundation up Friday, and poured Monday. "Poured Monday" sounds so simple. Due to various circumstances there was no concrete truck involved. It was mixer, 80# bags, wheelbarrow, & 5 gal. buckets. I spooned that foundation and that is about all I want to say about that whole venture

Had to work with that 16"o.c. deck framing. I considered adding footers and a beam and cutting it back the joists! There was a sandstone vein through there, too. Too soft and would break up by the time you dug around it. Rather than leave it be We had to pick those chunks out of the hole.

I had to tunnel back 4' under each of the two front walls I framed. Fun fun. I am so glad to be done with this foundation.

Here's the dirty end of the job

I love how when you look at a finished job it looks so easy..Like there was nothing to it.
No one will ever understand the amount of labor that was involved.

When we got everything graded, we had our concrete guys come and pour the bottom of the pool. When they were finished, the foreman said "Now I remember why we don't build pools anymore.".

We got a little closer this week. I hauled a couple of loads of gravel today so we could grade for the deck this weekend.

[Killer Bee]

looking good Larry, got my trunks and beach towel ready!

I really like that mack.. fuel range make it to lone jack?

pulled forms today and a little cleanup.. trying to decide what kind of grass and sprinklers

grade and fall is perfect without drains, cell phone wide shot distorts a lot..

[davischevy]

Mack's take some getting used to, but once you get settled into one they are great trucks. I haven't driven that one much, so I still rake a gear once in a while. That old dude has some power. If you can ever get out of traffic, and into high gear, you just sit back and drive.
