stay well Allen ----- Original Message ----- From: RJ To: handyman Sent: Sunday, July 13, 2008 9:30 PM Subject: [BlindHandyMan] The sidewalk AS some of you are aware, I been repairing and remodeling the neighbor's house over the pass year and the project is coming to a end. Well the two girls decided it was time for a little pay back. So off I went to our local home center and bought a mold for laying cement that is a 2 x 2 foot form. This form make several carvel stone shapes. The mold was about $16 and the pre-mixed cement was around $3.50 per 80 pound bag. I started to dig out the flat rocks I had for a pass way and soon I was promoted to a superviser position. The one girl started to dig out the flat rocks, along with my wife and the other said she had laid this type of walk before. That left me with the job of sitting in a lawn chair and lugging a bag of cement when needed. My wife took over the mixing of the cement and I was deligated to sitting in the lawn chair. Two days later, we are the proud owner of about 60 foot of a two foot wide walk. And the cost was well within the estimated cost of 31 bags of cement and the mold. Or for a total of $125. They tell me the walk fits the house look my wife and I was seeking. And I will say, I could get use to being promoted to superviser full time. But I think that is a dream that will becoming to a end as fast as it came. RJ [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
