So how hot is it where you are today?

But I'm done with the rake and shovel on that shit. lol

Ok I lied. I made a mistep in my leveling calculations. I've added a third tier of retaining wall blocks and had to shift the crusher run somewhat. I am going on Friday to pick up a ton or two of granite dust/screenings to make a smooth topcoat. Will pickup the 16" plate vibrator saturday to do the final compacting.

I still have about 6 feet of retaining wall to add, I'll either get out there this afternoon before work to do it, or take care of it this weekend.

I also got most of the right side drainage complete. We had a huge downfall of rain yesterday about 15 minutes after I called it quits for the day. Worked like a charm. Had a nice river running down the property line. Once I have all that old wood and garbage hauled off in the corner it will be made to shoot out into the woods. It ain't been made pretty yet, but its working like it should!

Doing this pad by myself makes me feel like a gym rat again. So while I am leaking gallons of sweat it sucks, but I do have that nice swollen weight lifting feel after. Kind of missed it.

That’s what I call some dedicated glutton for punishment ?

Love/hate thing. I don't get much exercise sitting in a car for 12 hours for work so I try and get it in where I can. That and I hate paying someone to do something I can do.

It's 95 now, visiting son/daughter-in-law in mountains.

Oh yea, and my wheel burrow broke, so I was using those buckets to move around rock.

Not sure how many dead lift reps I got, but it was a lot. haha

People don't think concrete in a 5 gallon bucket be heavy, but it is. =P

You know, in retrospect now I kind of feel like it was the Atlas Stone from WSM comps. Deadlift the bucket up, yank, carry it at my chest with two arms from rock pile to destination. lol
