Don't look like too much but that's over $1000 in blue stone.. 3/4 ton of sand and 2 bags of Portland and lime. All mixed in a wheelbarrow with a hoe. It's coming along nicely though. Customer likes it, which I'm glad because I didn't think he'd agree on but he did with no hesitation. 10k was my estimate
Pity...guy's got a 10 grand bluestone walk and a 50 dollar evergreen landscape. I woulda pimped that shit out...hope ur customer does

Roughed in all the plumbing for house today.. new construction. Long day. Was trying to crank it out and didn't check to see what time it is. Sitting in some serious traffic right now. Time to smoke some pots and rage out in traffic.
finally made it home.. already dark as fuck outside

After a 2 week long struggle, my aging band of marauders has made it to the road.

still 2 days work on the end (blacktop to blend with the road & have to rebuild a drain grate that collapsed 10 yrs. ago that the town and state both ignore) and have to sweep in the polymeric sand and wet it which hardens like cement.

Not bad for a crew of old guys on multiple medications. We can do anything except be young again. Lol.

Funny anecdote: The drain grate is on a state road. But the local town generally cleans them from debris. When my 10 yr. old truck was brand new, my wife backed over the rusty grate. It collapsed down 8" and a rod punctured and ruined my rear tire. I got the town maintenance guy there. He put an orange safety cone over it. Only the top third of the cone was visible 10 yrs. later (now) as it filled in with road debris. We dug it out our fucking selves and the township guy shows up and says we have to fix it to 'code'. I told him fix it yourself or get the fuck out of here right fucking now. You had 10 fucking years to fix it and now you show up to tell us what to do??

He left. Lol.

Ikr? I went out for a long, cold bike ride at 2pm. Got back about 20 minutes ago and it was almost dark! WTF? The days are already super short, bring on the S.A.D....
I hate this gray. this is the shittiest time of year for me. I rode my bike yesterday too. Mistake. couldn't even move my hands after.
