Happy Holidays 2009!

From our home to yours, Merry Christmas! The picture above is the closest we were able to get to a family pic for this year with our tree.

Some of our outtakes are in the album below.

Day Eighteen: Little Rocks

Today we needed to move all the little rocks left from where we jacked out the slab so only sand was left.



Sweetness told me to think of the day's work as a glamerous day at the beach playing in the sand. It was nothing of the sort!

In the video below, we lay out as the plan for the day.

Next, we check in on Sweetness (bel0w) and his new contraption.

In the video below, we show you all the work we did today. Six hours and countless wheelbarrow trips into the day, we actually did move all those little rocks to the dumpter.

The slideshow below shows some pictures we took today:

Day Seventeen: Good Bye, Jack Hammer

Today we share our plan to finish the jackhammering and offer you a final chance to see our sunken concrete slab.

As you can see in the video below, we've come a LONG way since Day Ten when we posted, "Uh, What are we Going to Do with this Concrete???" after a miserably failed attempt to use a sledgehammer to break it up.

Our wrap up for today is posted below. Join us in saying, "Goodbye, Sledge Hammer!!"

Ed says concrete weighs about 145lbs per cubic square foot. We think that means we've moved 23 thousand pounds of concrete. DANG!!!

Here's a sample of what we used to see when we opened the front door (pre-demo):

NOW- Take a look at a snapshot from the same vantage point:
