Hi All,
The first project your fearless moderator could use help on is a redo of the back garden. Currently, it's a weed and grass mess with a cracking concrete patio, an avocado tree that needs trimming/training and a row of sugar cane I think we're going to save.
What needs doing:
- Demolition of majority of concrete in the backyard. Hauling out of concrete (or, if anyone has a mobile crusher, on-site conversion into aggregate would be preferable).
- Trimming/training of avocado tree.
- Laying sand base for stone patio.
- Laying stone patio, ashlar pattern from left-over stone scraps.
- Tilling and grading exising dirt.
- Planting vegetable rows and some ground-cover (maybe grass).
As mentioned in the first post, what I have to offer is masonry, carpentry and writing (I've been a journalist a pr writer and a technical writer for short stints, am reasonably good at all three).
Proposed dates: 5/16-5/17/09. Starting each day around 9am.
contact me at: use.usage at gmail dot com
Thanks for reading.
