Re: garage refurb
I did a couple of small things outside, not much as it keeps raining here.
I threw some stone down along side the sidewalk we poured last year.
Then I wnated to put an end on the apron poured last fall. I felt the need to enclose part of the column in the apron and to help divert rain water coming down the driveway. This should help push it into the yard.
Here is what it looked llike prior.
I dug it out and threw in some rebar, it's not below the frost level. I'm hoping that the rebar going in the column (4' deep) and garage foundation will keep it in place. If it doesn't oh well.
I used a metal can to get the curve. I cut 2 pieces of plywood but it kept breaking so I said forget that.
Once I removed the can, it did break a small piece of concrete out, oops, no biggie. Here is what the finished product looks like.
Now I just need to back fill a little dirt and stone, get some grass seed. For those wondering, I did mix that concrete up myself in a wheelbarrow, portlans cement, stone and sand.
Have you posted a closeup of that in the "Pinups" thread?
