new method of therapy? amola: ok, so mom and dad are here.......so far, so good.
we had our cookout yesterday, then dad and i fixed my chain link fence...... :)
then i made the comment "gee, i really hate how that sidewalk looks".......and it went from there. we figured out that we could move the concrete, and that if we dropped it on this one un-movable piece, it would break apart into smaller pieces........and i've been wanting to do something out in my flowerbed/garden area in the way of a stepping stone pathway. well, you know, broken up concrete does a nice job....and let me tell you, every time i picked up a piece of concrete and threw it against the chunk to break it, it just felt soooooooooooooo good!!!
the first part, as we started to break up the pieces
dad trying to budge the second part....we actually did get that whole curved piece up and broken
the start of the finished product. i'm going to spread them out a bit more and dig holes so that they're level with the ground, and let the grass grow in between them.
landscaping on a budget! gotta love it!

Re:new method of therapy? Blueyes424: amola,
I LIKE THE PATH!!!!! That is going to look totally awesome when you get done with it. I wish I had a yard of my own that I could do something like that with. It does look really good, girl!

Re:new method of therapy? amola: it really was quite fun to do...and i can't wait to get out there and get them set into the ground like i want to do. that will be a slow project though. not sure if you can really tell in the pic with dad, but my shovel handle is only about 2 feet long.....lol i apparently lost custody of the good shovel. dammit.
just think though.........got rid of the sidewalk that i didn't want, and will have my new pathway done, and it's not going to cost me a penny! i love that!

Re:new method of therapy? Shanna: Looks good!
I pulled up all the bricks from around the flower beds and trees in my new backyard. I am going to just mulch around them. I should be able to mow and not have to week eat it all. I plan to make a sidewalk with the bricks I pulled. I am going to bury them so I can mow over them without having to weed eat. I hate weed eating. blek.
