    Nice! Did you use a certain set of plans for that or did you sort of freestyle it? I need to build something like that this weekend.

    At least you've got 3/4", I have been spreading 1.5" to match some other areas in my yard. I am done with about 1 out of the 4 yards I got delivered, its a bitch to shovel and spread

    I feel your pain. Did 4 yards of 2” alone in the front yard a month ago. Now I gotta do 4-5 yards in the back yard but this time I’m gonna rent a little dingo and it will be 1” rock

    I shoveled and spread rock around my last pool. Not this pool never again! I got a guy delivering and spreading, delivery $75 and $65 an hour to spread. About 2-2.5 hours of work.:D

    Well my shallow water well pump shit the bucket. It was estimated to be around 20 years old. Decided to go back with same pump. Sta Rite 3/4 HP. I'm not an electrician or plumber, but figured I could figure this out. Turns out I got lucky :D. We have water!!!!!!:thumbsup:

    I spent two solid days cleaning up the vacation home so that when I bring my wife and son up in a couple of weeks, they don't revolt against me and stay in a hotel. Glad I brought my rug doctor and vacuum.

    Thanks! It was hard to leave yesterday. We're coming back on the 4th to make our own fireworks show since the bozos around here already decided to cancel ours here. I guess COVO is a fireworks killer too......
