This weekend I have prepared three areas to have concrete poured next Thursday. I asked for bids so I could just pay someone to take care of the work without my involvement. I was willing to pay extra money so I wouldn't have to do any of the labor. When the bids came in I was totally shocked, and certainly not will to pay that much! Granted, I am totally exhausted, but if everything goes as planned I will have saved myself approximately $1422.00. That is using retail labor, retail rental fees for equipment and concrete disposal, and my own time and energy.
On a brighter note, I did have enough energy to go dancing this weekend.........

Well thank goodness there was enough energy for dancing..yay.
WOW! on the progress.
Cool picture. You have motivated me to do some stuff to our house. Hang in there buddy
Holy Moly that is a lot of work, Sundown! And then there's Tango, of course -- but you gotta love that, right?
We need to do the very same thing here as soon as it is a bit warmer. And I think we're gonna do it ourselves as well. It's outrageous how much they want for a little conrete work!
Job well done and thanks for showing us with the pics -- I always enjoy that part.
Any fun dancing? KNow what I mean?
Peace,
Scout
It gonna look nice. After all, Tango is helping.
Your arms must be so toned! I can see why you would have energy to go out dancin'!
It must feel rewarding (other than tired from all this work) to get this stuff done. What a sense of accomplishment you must be feeling.
Love those two pictures - one with the sand all level and the second with Tango "helping" - you have motivated me enough....to do laundry (and because I have no socks). Sorry, still not a "do-it" person though anytime you want to drop by and tear down a wall or something, you are totally welcome (you know once you finish your house and six months goes by and that itch starts....)
I am impressed by your productivity.
And it looks as if Tango loves the cement as well!
Have a good week.
Tango of course, is just doing her bit to help.
And concrete is horribly expensive nowadays.
And always remember, Dancing comes first! Priorities!
You go, girl!
