Hi! Folks how has your year been going so far? Hope you all enjoyed Easter and remember what it represents. I know it seems like a while between these blog updates, but when your retired you seem to have less free time on your hands.
I believe the last blog was moving the 2nd. cement block in place for the new green house. So this one, is for the last of the three that Tiger and I had to move, and place. We will move this one to the back patio. So I can dig out a spot to level the block of concrete for the new steps.
If you add some sand to this dug out, it makes it a lot easier to level the concrete block.
So let’s move it.
Now, it’s in place and we can build the steps that are needed. Like so, boy! that looks a lot better .
To make the steps look aged and old like the rest of the patio, We will use the existing railing for the banisters and some of the treated fence post that we removed on a prior job.
So far so good.
Now lets do some cutting and finish this job. Believe it or not this was really fun to build.
You may have noticed that Tiger isn’t in any of these photo’s. The reason is simple, I’m being punished. Every time I dig a hole or clear a space for one thing or another, Tiger has to lay in it. I think it’s his way of giving approval of the job. Since I didn’t want to put the slab on top of him, I had to run him off. In doing so he is pouting and won’t talk to me, or let me take his picture.
I’m being punished…”sob “… He’s sooo funny.
Hope this fines you all in good health and safe. So till the next time, From Tiger and Stu
