Did my first exposed aggregate pours today. Got half the smallest patio and another sidewalk to go, plus a small pad for a 200 gallon deisel tank. poured rain on us so we had to tarp everything while we worked.

I use the heck out of my little BX25. Has about 565 hours on it I believe. I don't use the backhoe attachment regularly, but seem to find a project or 2 every year for it. They can do a lot more than people think and the size is sure handy for working in the horse stalls/runs. This was last week:

I have the 1538, I seem to find a use for my backhoe attachment once a week.

I buried about 4 shoeboxes of old tax returns and medical records. I tried burning chit like that but 4K pages; mehhh, dig in the woods and in 3minutes, it’s dead to me.

Thank you wabi. It's been a busy two weeks off working around the property.

Man, that really is a sad story. I’m sorry things didn’t work out. Don't worry though, I’m sure things will turn around eventually and some schitt head or other will piss you off...

Yes they do. Two of the most drunk times I can ever recall being was when we helped one of my buddies build his back deck, and the other was when a bunch of them came to my place to put up a split rail fence around my property. The most amazing thing about it was that both jobs turned out great. Far better than I can say for any of us when we were done. grin

Good job, Fire.
