Side walk and steps photos

Rob,

I used/ordered 4 yards to do the step/walk way. But I always have a back up form for any left over. Hate to to throw it down the ditch! I made a little 6"x6" wide/tall retaining wall form 30' long. Well just happened I did have a bit left....but not quite enough to fill the back up form. No problem, my wife and queen of all, ran out and bought 6 bags of concrete to complete it.

I met a guy once who used to keep a set of forms handy for fence posts for extra concrete. Not sure what he did but a sheet of 3/4 plywood with dividers would make 7 posts 8' long real quick. I have lined my creek before and after my concrete bridge with a nice layer of concrete.

Well, you sure did a nice job. I hope mine will turn out that good. Your wife is pretty special to get those extra bags, they are heavy!!! That is a good idea for the left over concrete too. If I did that I would have enough for the slab under my propane tank, which was 12" too short. I learn more things on this board, I swear!
Thanks for sharing.
