Step1 3/4
We have been on craigslist and calling everyone we know, but no rocks. Mom said if we have to buy them it will take us way out of budget (NONE) so, now what to do? The last time through craigslist, we saw an add for concrete chunks. Now that would work too. Mom remembered when we were at Miss Jodys' house there were giant slabs of concrete in the field. One call later, we were headed out to Miss Jody's place. Her husband told us he is doing a construction job where he can get us dump truck loads of concrete. Since he is in construction, he took a look at our plans and said that the concrete would work perfectly. Then he said that he could also bring us fill dirt to level the area that I am building the fire pit on. FREE!!! So, now we have the fill dirt and the Concrete coming this week and it is all FREE! That makes life easy.

AWESOME!!! You should check out the wall & patio we built out of concrete! Stock up on heavy leather gloves, that stuff just eats up your hands. I know this sounds nuts but wear sunglasss as the reflection off of the white/gray hurts your eyes after a few days of working with it. I'm Not trying to be negative, just save you some troubles!
ReplyDeleteThat is awesome, Free is the best price.
ReplyDeleteHooray for all things free! Concrete chunks may actually work out better than rocks. I'm looking at the pics in your first post. To me it looks like they used concrete chunks under the seats and also around the firepit. And you get free fill dirt too?! Wow! That's great!
ReplyDeleteHoping for some pictures soon.
