Last weekend was the jackhammer weekend...I got a little help from my sweetheart...right...That was a very long day getting all the concrete out, the holes dug inside and out and getting all the old plumbing removed. Whew!!
Jay, came over Thursday and got all the plumbing pipe in taking only 3 1/2 hours. He was pretty happy not having to do much digging. It all went in pretty smooth. Nice to have a professional in the family...
Looks pretty cool for a bunch of black pipe.
Today was fill it in day. Picking up 25 bags of 80 lb quickcrete at home depot = 2,000 lbs. Then hauling it into the house another 2,000 lbs, and then loading the mixing and pouring - another 2,000 lbs. I guess a 3 ton day is enough for one guy. Sue helped by adding water and lowering the mixer for a dump and I was glad to have her with me. It's pretty tough doing this alone.
We were so lucky...I didn't have a single bag left over...amazing :o).. That's shaving it a bit close. Next is hauling that big pile of rubble away next week and we might just about be ready or getting pretty close anyway...

WOW! What a project! Sorry you've had to do this on your own. Just look at it as a really great workout. That's one way to get in shape!
You guys are all AMAZING - What a job! I'm glad it is going as well as it is though. Can't wait to see you in a few weeks!
