what a mess it is now. i didnt take pictures of the old beat up shed, the old rungy fence and the big tall ass tree that took almost 2 weeks to cut down.

so far i for up almost 200 feet of fence and i still have about 150 feet left. im staining it with weather stainer then polyurethane it all. on the right what you can see the pile of concrete that was a 8x10 wood shed that was run down. tore it all down ripped up the concrete and all i have to do now is form it out and wait for the concrete delivery. im putting a 12x20 pvc shed in its place. with electric and a window with a flower pot holder below it :lol:

all along the concrete ground going around the pool im putting nice landscaper block and filling it in with nice stone. still have to put the rest of the fence up thats all wavey. i only got them up there temporarly because we were tearing down the tree. and still have to run a fence along the other side where my neighbors house is.

in the yard where the patio is you see grass there to. i extended the fence out 26 feet 8 inchs and it gave me a lot more room. plus it didnt take much from the front.

hope to be done my next weekend.

Landscape block? do u mean pavers? I mostly install them for my job. If you need an exsperienced guy to help you out or some tips just let me know. Just to let you know if u plan on doing it your self it will take a very long time. Prob up to a month depending on your square footage and hrs you spend on it. It takes 5 guys 2 days to lay about 160 Sq feet working 10 hr days.


PS. if you dont lay them in right they will fail with the first freeze/thaw

Aren't you moving? Why do all this shit?


fell through, in which im happy about. long story to it, i wont get to much into it but the roof was leaking in 4 spots, each side of the roof is 30x80 and is a slate roof, they didnt wanna lower the price neither, so we pulled out.

got a lot done with the yard.

i would say im about 90% done and happy. spent about 5 or hours a day for a long time, putting the fence up is what took the longest, cutting roots, roots, roots, and more roots while digging to put in the posts. got the concrete poured and sheds installed. BLAH BLAH BLAH.

I'll post pictures of how much of the disaster zone is cleared up.

P.S> --- Cakes i put the snow blower away :lol:
