Remodeling the back porch

[aaluck]

After living here for five years I have decided to invest some money every year to make needed improvements. Back porch this year. It was tile that you could skate on when wet. Workers showed up today. Guy that owes the company offered me a pretty good discount if I would use the tractor to dig and haul out the dirt. Wait....get paid to drive the tractor!?!?!?! Ill update as they make progress. Tomorrow they are framing/pouring concrete where the old flower (weed) bed was and the adding the extension, basically from the vase to the corner by the shovel. PS not sure why I always get duplicates when I hit "Full Image"

What a great project and a fun use of your tractor. Looking forward to seeing the progress and finished result. Nice spot too!

Holy Sh!t......... talk about a "engineering fail".

We have tile in our place, inside, and I have to cover the floor with about 30 towels when people come over to swim, cause when you hit that tile with wet feet, its "down you go".

I can't imagine how dangerous that would be outside.

Looks good, but the body language of those two workers says "Have you ever ran a tractor before?"
