Well, I'm back to work on the house - which leaves
me little time to paint, or "noozleddar". Nevertheless - here I iz!!!! I'm
so covered in dirt, sweat, concrete, and tractor grease that you may need to
wash your OWN hands after reading this! :-) I must admit, I'm fascinated
by how much I can enjoy painting and showing and then turn around and find
similar passion in moving dirt around, screwing steel together, and having a
love affair with concrete!
Above is the first of two concrete benches I've built
into a wall in my dining room. You can see the rebar and holes for the
second one. When the wall itself is completed, it will be smoothed out,
drywalled, and finished in a stone-like texture.
To the right, Brian (my daughter's beau) and I prepare
to concrete the first steel box beam post into place, at my garage.
