So, my Bike's new home arrived today
I bought a shed, if you can call it that. (12' x 20') The Amish built it and all the lumber was hand cut...beautiful.
Anyway, we decided to get some topsoil for our little yard. My wife orders 9 yards. I rent this cool little thing called a dingo front end loader. http://www.toro.com/professional/sws...400/index.html Little did I know that it can and will tip over  After I figured it out, everything went fine but damn, I am tired. |

I agree - this thread is meaningless without pics

Well, after a day of moving dirt, we decided to go out and buy some grass seed. I found a place that had sod that you just roll out. I am thinking, really expensive, right? $65 delivered
1 hour of rolling it out and I now have a finished lawn Tomorrow, fence and electric day. I am getting a heater for the bike boudoir that has an air conditioner built in. Kind of like those motel things. |

Cleo is the resident Sod Expert.
Ahh the casement AC/Heater -- I debated knocking a hole in a wall for one that I could put on the generator.

Sod her is $130 for 500 square of it slid off the truck. My backyard took 1000 square feet. I used a wheelbarrow to wheel it into my backyard.
I just laid mine over the sand that is what we have for dirt if you don't have sod. The sod I got was rectangles about 2x4 each. I've also seen the sod in rolls but for whatever reason the rectangles are more popular and so is what most of the places here have. The black dirt that it grows in gets on everything and is almost as bad as black paint trying to get it washed off. Mine is almost ready for its first cut. |

I'm thinking that you need a Gnome for your new yard.

Reasons for no pics yet.
a) He's not taking any pics until it's done and perfect. b) Gabbo is helping him so it's taking forever c) No before and after (or during) pics... (what do you think this is, a weight loss ad???) He's only taking pictures once, dammit! d) All of the above. e) All of the above and then some.

But out local average income is about $22k. So, a lot of things are really cheap. Land, for instance. I paid $15k for 57 acres. It was a special deal but it still isn't worth much more than 30k. Strange too...I am actually finally having it logged and they told me I should get about $40k for the wood. As for pictures...I told my lovely wife Victoria to take pictures of me using the Dingo and she never did. It made her really nervous watching me use it I just finished the electric rough in today. Next, insulation and then sheet rock. I am getting a local artist friend to do something Harley Davidson on one of the walls. |

And let there be light.

I think Jim should be banned for posting home improvement details with No Fucking Pics.
Where's the love? |

I will take pictures tomorrow. Right now it is a mess from my electrical work. And, all the mud from doing the yard.

Torn - Jim would actually have to figure out how to use the camera and get the pics down to his PC & then read the VB FAQ page on how to post them to a thread
