I didn't even want to look at the front yard. I kept trying to remind myself that this was demolition and demo is messo! (bad rhyme - I know)
After spending a weekend trying to make the yard look somewhat presentable and level so it wasn't a total muddy mess we would be able building the form for the footings for the block to sit on. All cleaned and ready.
We had to dig, fill and build the forms. Took all day. I'll admit, I didn't do much of this part. I left the digging in the mud to the boys and went shopping.
It was as if I waved my magic want and they appeared.
And then it rained and rained and rained. We had a weekend trip planned to Roanoke to visit Black Dog Salvage (my Valentine's Day, Anniversary and Birthday present) and guess what, it rained here while we were gone.
So the following weekend the boys had to redo all the forms. (I shouldn't say boys - Trevor is quite the man now - he's been such a big help and this work is NOT fun). Oh yeah - I went shopping again.
But the weather stayed clearer and we got the inspector's blessing and we can pour!
