First, we had to cut down this big ass tree that was sitting exactly where the new concrete slab would be. Also had to dig out the stump. Whew!

Then we hand dug with a shovel mind you, a trench 2 feet deep and 100 feet long to place the sewer pipe for the new bathroom.

Then came the forms and pouring the footing. Then came mortar and 2 rows of concrete blocks surrounding an area of 16 feet by 26 feet.

It was at this point, we purchased a John Deere 2305 Tractor to help our aching backs. I also made a forklift attachment to exchange with the bucket on the frontender loader attachment for this. Works great too! It will pick up/carry about 1000 pounds. (depending on the load center)

About 30 yards of fill dirt later, 8 yards of concrete were poured onto a rebarb structure to produce a slab 6 inches thick.

Then after framework, lots of lumber, insulation, etc..... we built our own custom trusses to match the already existing roof.

Now we are into the fun part. We have torn off all the shingles from the house, only to discover we have decking repairs to do.

Today we will be finishing up the decking repairs, tarpaper, and begin laying 27 squares of shingles.
LOL

Made a very nice retaining wall and garden border in someones yard (cough). I feel that individual should be not help in low regard as he pays taxes and got his bad karma already.

LOL.. sounds really nice for whoever “cough” has it and WOW 5-7 for commercial burglary is Harsh, but since it was a harmless crime I'm sure that the “cough” individual is extremely apologetic will never to anything like that again LOL.LOL.LOL Lets hope that that’s one menses to society that does slip through the cracks..

Your a sick individual BL_RV0.

That's the Fire pit!.. It's 4' round, holds lots of woods and I was able to build a 6' "controlled" fire in my back yard (how cool is that!).

Well as soon as one is complete anther one starts, here’s the upstairs restroom (kids) in its infant stages (4 hrs of Demo), I’ll be tacking out the wall on the left (partition wall) and moving it out another 5’ to gain a descent size space 15’x12’. Here’s what it should look like when it's complete, well kind of with out the gay seat and more geared towards kids.. (fishy tiles on the walls, ect).. LOL.LOL..
