Tommy I’m paying 135 for common Bermuda per pallet 425 sq ft Your deal sounds pretty solid. I get to keep the pallets....they make for a good redneck bonfire. So here’s the latest taken from standing at the firepit. They finished today and replaced the hardy they broke. I didn’t have them paint it because I’m about to repaint the entire house and casita....as soon as the wife decides on paint.  Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Drive to Dallas for a couple of meetings yesterday and today. Drove the dually. I like it a lot more on the freeway than around town
Hope to toss a pallet of sod in the bed on the way back this afternoon.

Looking good JR
I’m hoping my Titan airless will work when I need it in the next couple of weeks. It’s been in my dads posession for a couple of years. It’s only been used 4-5 times but it’s 10 years old.

They came yesterday and removed all the debris and started up the pool and worked on some finishing details. Stone guy has to come back and mortar in the skimmer kids and raise up an area that’s holding a little water in the porch. I’m also thinking about adding the automation equipment. I can see now that the wife won’t want to turn valves and flip switches. She’d rather have a remote control    Now I need about 6 more pallets of sod Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks guys. I have to say guys, the stone work was an arm and a leg but now that it’s done it was well worth it. The fire pit and the outdoor kitchen and porches all matching makes a huge difference.
I mulched the beds today (just to keep Don occupied) and power washed the shop front. Got a couple of rockers for the fire pit area but will probably get some Adirondack chairs and put the rockers on the porch of the casita.
They come tomorrow to pick up all the leftover stone and debris and put chemicals in the pool and start the pump
Also having the septic pumped tomorrow.
Making progress for sure. Gonna have dinner with the guy that built my house tomorrow and get the name of the plumber he uses. Probably going to just stroke a check to get the plumbing and sewer roughed in so I can get to insulation and Sheetrock sooner.

Buying a house, and changing jobs. I’d keep what you have for a while. Pay cash for your next truck. That’s when you’ll know you’re ready for a new truck.

Today I put 12 colors of paint on the casita to please the wife. She still can’t decide. Doesn’t like any of them Then I watered the sod and did a little dirt work after bible study. Every wonder about the origins of Easter? And how Friday to Sunday is three days and three nights? Then I smoked some chicken legs and thighs Then I pressure washed the front of the shop. It was nasty with green mildew all over the white doors.  And after all that I’m enjoying my burn pile. I have a brand new fire pit and I enjoy the burn pile. I’m still a redneck.

They also have DOT ride with CHP here and will do a visual. If they see something, you get towed and can't get it until you fix it.
I wish they would do that for people pulled over with no insurance. Impound until you have proof of coverage. Would put a stop to a lot of uninsured motorist crap.

Ryan I’m as deep in the middle of Houston as you can get and deal with that all the time. I live in a neighborhood that is undergoing gentrification (original homes built in the 40s that are being torn down. So we have construction all around and deal with the double parked contractors all the time.
I can teach you a few choice words in Spanish that might help

Tommy I’m very happy for you. What a great feeling to get it completed. It looks great and I really like the deep front porch.
Sod is probably the best instant gratification there is. One minute dirt and the next a wonderful green lawn

Illegal immigrants are a tough subject. You feel for the ones trying to make a better life but we are either a nation of laws or we aren’t.
Republicans (as opposed to conservatives) want cheap labor and Democrats want cheap votes
I don’t mind paying $40 for my lawn to be mowed. Saving $10 by hiring illegals is not worth it.
Get in line, immigrate legally, learn English
Studies show speaking English in the US as an immigrant will double your earnings

So off to the right of the picture is where they have all the pallets of stone and their trailer and mortar mixer and where the gunnite/pebbletec truck will land. That will require more grass. I figure another 6 pallets. Since they weight 2500 each I can only haul about 2 1/2 at a time on my trailer since it has 3500# axles and no trailer brakes.

Laid some sod  Found my little friend. He had an unfortunate accident and lost a leg to the landscape rake since I didn’t see him in the dirt.  They cleaned the pool out to get it ready for pebble tec Thursday. (Hopefully) and start to fill it Friday. Last of the flagstone going down today.
