While you guys were nursing your hangovers, we got ready for the last concrete pour on the patio and walkways. Gotta beat the heat, gunna be 106 today. We'll be ready to start on the landscaping when the last of the concrete is down. It'll be very satisfying to get this behind us next weekend so we can put the lawns in. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/AFMZF7t.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/dspa70F.jpg)

Exciting to make it all come together.👍 It is. It's been working after work and on weekends for 5 months now. Unexpected surprises like needing to install a new drainfield slowed us down but we're knocking it out. I try to do something every single day. It pays off if you stay with it.

Looks great Roy! What you gonna do when it’s all done??? We're doing some very heavy duty work right now but there's always maintenance when that's done. Weed spraying, lawn fertilizing and mowing. We're going to dig alot of our own plants this fall so I'm trying to get all the irrigation and soil amendments in before Septemeber. We're trying to think of everything and do it right as we go so it's one-and-done. May not get much hunting in this year but it'll be worth it. Can't believe the cost of trees these days. What I used to buy for $40 costs $175 now.

If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.

Always nice to get the flatwork done. I poured my last bit a few weeks back. Only have some small stuff coming up for some barnyard water repairs and some concrete fenceposts!
