Nice work J, yard and wall look great. Very cool to hear on the tourney placing and being able to fish with an old friend. Safe travels on your trip down south!

Very pleased with how it's turned out and a lot of people passing by have commented on it as well..... Should have and added curb appeal when it goes on the market and I've only invested 487.00 in bricks and another thirty in glue and 35 in sand lol.... Jake ( the kid who I helped lol) said in all good faith he couldn't take anything since we like family.... Well the wife's in the process of getting him costa sunglasses and I'll be putting some cash in his jeep the next time he comes over lol....

Jake has spent more time over the years at our house with my son Ryan then he did at his home, ours was the house where they all hung out (and ate all my venison lol) he said this was payback for all the food that he's eaten over the years...... I think I'm still making out on the deal lol.....

Before long, J will be like the guy at the end of my road. Cleaning the mower deck after every mowing. Power washing the house once a month. And taking a wire brush and Formula 409 to the the concrete caps on top of the septic tank... lmao

They are pretty generic Jim, all for curb appeal when it goes on the market.... Nothing real expensive (shy of the vinyl/gutters) which I farmed out do too my basically not wanting too do them lol.....
