Re: Jim\'s new projects

To put the concrete layer on the front of the garage I had to move the pallet boxes of stone out of the way so the concrete mixer could get in there. The pallet forks came in handy for this. The boxes must have been around 7-800 lbs as the back end wanted to come up off the ground several times.

And did...

This is the concrete layer that was spread on the front to prep for the stone veneer.

Re: Jim\'s new projects

And here's the entire front of the building with the layering complete. There is a wire mesh under the concrete that is stapeled to the building. This gives the layering something to grab on to.

Re: Jim\'s new projects

I would guess that so far the most useful service that this little guy has provided is in the ability to dig. I think I really saved a bundle of cash and convenience by not having to rent a skid steer and back hoe every time I want to go out and dig or spread dirt.


And it cuts grass too! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
