Housebound

But it will be worth it in the end. This week we are having our sidewalks replaced. Yesterday the guys were using a backhoe and jackhammer to break up the old, cracked, 24" wide sidewalks. The noise was almost unbearable. A friend was supposed to come over and spin with me but I didn't think it would be fair to subject her to all that racket and canceled. This morning they are leveling the ground. I don't know what they will be doing this afternoon. I hope the concrete pouring will be soon. I'm going to write our initials in it. It's something I've always wanted to do. I have taken before pictures and will post them with the after pics when everything is done.

There is the kid in all of us that must do that at least once in their lives!

I envy you the update. We have a cracked driveway that is begging for pavers. But that's a big expense and will have to wait. A few years ago we chose to pave the pool deck instead and it is really beautiful and enhances the look of the house because we have a whole wall of sliders looking out onto it. Enjoy your "new look".

The workers packed up and left last Wednesday. Apparently they need dry weather to pour the concrete. Maybe they can do it next month.

When you write your initials be sure to put the date also.

watch out--candid camera will get you putting initials in, the things we get urged to do just like kids

But it's MY cement.

congratulations on getting new and spiffy sidewalks.

Thanks. It's something we should have done when we bought the house in 1982 but couldn't afford it then.
