I actually have the cash now so I am just organizing and planning what I want to do so that I only have to keep a piece of equipment here a minimal amount of time. I have to get all the utilities in before I can continue on the BBQ itself.

I agree Brad you are sick in the head.

Brad went skydiving?

**havasu** · 07-28-2010, 03:24 PM

Yep....It was set up by his wife for his 30th birthday just after Brad purchased a sizeable life insurance policy. Go figure!

I have an actual update, kinda. I have a mini excavator being delivered next Friday so something will get done. yay.

BTW it was nice knowing you Brad.

**havasu** · 07-28-2010, 07:07 PM

Is this a mini-excavator you are renting, or buying? Hmmm, what can I demolish with one of those?

**Chris** · 07-28-2010, 07:23 PM

I was about to buy one but in this economy I think that money should stay right where it is. My pocket. I rent because they are cheap enough to and I don't use them all that often, backhoes and 50,000 pound excavators are more what I use daily and sadly I don't own either of those.

But if you are bored come on down and tear up my yard.

Sounds fun! Be right there...

I was thinking about using it to tear up my front yard. I spend the entire day Monday replacing 7 broken sprinkler heads, and with the water rates, I want to go for the natural "dirt" landscaping after I paint the dirt green!

I learned just this year that if you fertilize regularly you only have to water 8-10 minutes a day and have a beautiful lawn in these 100 degree temps. BTW you wanna buy me a new edger and tell my getto neighbors to stop parking on my side yard?

So I picked up a few more logs last weekend while I was in the mountains so that I can redo my existing patio cover. This Saturday is gonna be a big day around here, I have a small piece of equipment coming and a couple of guys that work for me as well. My main goal is to get the plumbing done for the BBQ which includes electric, water, sewer, and gas. After that I have a bunch of plants to plant and do some grading while I have the equipment.
