I patched a small hole in the floor of my insert dumper yesterday. I took a pic of the repair but it turned out looking too boring so I will just post a pic of the truck.

Fixed and back at the sales yard with his brother.....

Love the truck... that would be handy. I need to get a few loads of 5/8in clean crush core gravel spread. Mind if I borrow it?

This algae growth in the PNW is annoying to say the least.

The pavers under the porte cochere however just got washed for the first time in 26 years. A tip I just learned recently is how brake cleaner removes oil stains from concrete and concrete pavers.

I figure I have another 3-5 part days to go....

Terry, the first 7 of 9 pic links aren’t working for me.

And I imagine you aren’t pressure washing today? Pouring down here.

Raining here too. I’ve been having trouble posting pix. When I hit reply I view the post and pics are all there. Check later and some or all disappear.
