Anyone who says
that all fat people are that way because
they are lazy and don't exercise...
Can kiss my big fat pink ass
And throw this in the dumpster for me:
the pile of concrete I finished breaking up and tearing out today
-- using the tools you see there --
sledgehammer, pickaxe, wheelbarrow, prybar and sheer determination.
it used to be a sidewalk that ran the length of the side of the garage that I am turning into a parking area.
concrete walk partly removed and sod/top layer of soil scraped off
(I got machine assisted help on the scraping of this section
from the guys grading the detention basin behind us,
but the concrete removal is all my own work)
concrete walk completely removed,
along with the old pool filter that was at the corner of the garage,
plus some stones spread and holes filled -- beginning the base layer and grading
before installing the red crushed gravel that will cover the new parking area, old parking area and driveway
(approx 4250 sq. ft.)
more pics of this project to come.

I don't think that anyone who reads you thinks of you as lazy. Dang you been busy! Hope those nightly baths are helping the ole joints!
Craziness. With all the projects you do, I can't imagine anything thinking you're lazy.
I so totally agree!
So I guess I get out of the ass-kissing and the cement tossing!
Actually, I'd help...somehow...if I lived closer. (I'd get my boyfriend and son to help! Yeah!)
Everything looks great! I hope you're able to reach a good stopping place, before the weather turns nasty. It's been cold and raining here...
Peace and Love...and Wow! GFW
PS...How'd you make the the welcome bar, at the bottom of the page??
Me
Ohhh, man that is work.
Wow!
Great work! It's going to look awesome when it's all finished! I'm always impressed by your projects
Wow! That is certainly impressive. I cannot imagine the energy & strength that it took to do that. You are amazing!
It's going to look pretty when it's done with that colored gravel. And you'll have so much more room. Definitely worth the effort.
You did all THAT??! Don't worry: there's no danger of me trying to sneak up on YOU even in your most DEAD of sleep!
I just can't believe I am actually looking forward to the dentist! That's what is so funny about all this.
You are BEYOND awesome!!!!!
