Newest Project?

Well,  Since mom and I took out our spa we needed to do something with this area, so we are enlarging it to put in a patio.  This entails ME!.... drilling thirteen 8 inch in depth holes in the original cement pad with mom standing behind me for leverage.   This will be to secure the new pad to the old by using re-bar.  (see photo)  Mom is the brains of the operation, I am the muscle which doesn't speak much for the muscle part.  I would much rather be the brains of the operation. I can remember when drilling thirteen holes would have taken me one day.  I'm on day 3 and there will be a day 4 to finish.  Ovid said, "There is nothing swifter than the years" So true.  My arms hurt, My chest hurts, My back hurts, even my butt hurts, go figure.  We are taking our time due to age.  But, it gives us a project to keep us busy.  Now I need to get 45 bags of 80 lbs cement bags to the back-yard.  Aaron, don't take this the wrong way, but I sure could use Tyler's Muscle and Sara's skill.  Sara has experience working in laying cement pads. We are renting a professional cement mixer this time.  When I was young and not too bright, I would have used a wheel barrow to mix the cement.  After all is done mom will tile the pad to cover the cement.

45 bags of 80 lbs cement.  This needs to be moved to below photo.
