cleanup and aggregate day

Cleanup didn’t take long.  We piled it all on the trailer, along with refuse from 520, to be hauled to the landfill.

 

It doesn’t look clean, you say?  You should have seen it before.

The little concrete jobs are done.  Here’s how the front walkway looks. 

 

We’ll take the rock away, of course. 

In preparation for the side patio concrete, we got some sand and gravel (not the road crush we picked up from before).  The proprietor loaded us up with 0.3 yards each of sand and gravel.

That’s all that trailer can handle at the moment.  It was not exactly built straight.  When we put the wheel well covers on (the fenders, you might say), we aligned them straight with each other.  But the frame is offset from the body, so the wheel well didn’t line up with one of the tires.  Loaded too heavily, the tire rubs on the wood!  Nice smoke show, but not too useful when being pulled up Highway 3

So we redid the wheel well. 

 

Some more little fix-it projects: 

1. The hose bib outside leaks.  The tap is probably 50 years old. 

 

2. Some idiot left the lock bar off the shed door, and another idiot stole it. 

I’m the first idiot. 

The other door has the same lock bar, so I’ll have to duplicate it.  Problem is, most welding shops want $120 per hour, making it the most expensive lock bar I’d ever own.  So that’s out.
