Too sore from all the digging and shovelling I did yesterday so I just worked a half day at my desk today. Back outside tomorrow to finish a form build for a pad I need to pour.

Hey @doobie nice pictures, what is that meat pounding adapter for again in the second picture looks pretty cool

Ha Ha it does look like a meat pounder. That is the first thing I thought of when I saw in the picture. LOL!!

It’s called a bushing tool. You can use it to deface/rough-up concrete or wood surfaces…[Read more]

My 12V recip gets a lot more use than I originally thought it would.

I have thought about getting 12 recip before. Then I changed my mine to get something else. I just hate redeem for tools I might not use. So far I use everything I have received. I am glad you mention that you use more then you…

Used my Bosch Bulldog rotary hammer with a chisel attachmemt and its big brother 11264 EVS witha bushing head to remove old parging. Excellent Bosch combo for that kind of job.

Also used my 1020 demo hammer to start diggin out for a slab where the ground was rock hard.

My TOTD was my first time use of my Bosch SDS-Max HS1909 one piece bushing head to clear off old parging. Made that job way easier.

I started a dig-out for another pad I need to place for a lean-to shed on the side of my house.

Thanks guys!

Next, I’ll be using my rotary laser and its grade stick/receiver to start working out how much more of the coarse aggregate steel slag sub-base I should be filling up to. Doubt I’ll be doin’ this today.

After so much yesterday on this and other even more grueling project work yesterday, gettin’ mobile this mornin ain’t pretty so…[Read more]

Boschmanbrian wrote:@doobie looking good Kevin , you removed all the old parging ?, , did you put any sort of sealant over the concrete before you started to back fill or tap down if you want .

I plan on parging what will be the exposed parts of the forms and the house wall exposed foundation I just de-parged tonite before laying my screening and…[Read more]

I did a little pesky task I should have done years ago today amidst all the other major outdoor projects I worked on today.

These stupid little beach rocks have been sittin in old ready-mix drywall compound buckets and I’m gonna need those two buckets soon. So I got the idea of using empty 15 liter spring water bottles with their tops cut off…[Read more]

I did. I finished taking off the old parging up to where it was needed, then laid another scattered layer of more slag. By then it was dark, so I set up two LED light stands but to my dismay, our bi-annual seasonal midges infestation is starting and I was soon being swarmed and…[Read more]

Well, I did get at dealing with chipping out the old parging before I started to add more slag layers and compacting it down today. Sun’s going down soon and I’ve done a lot of digging and shovelling elsewhere today on one of my other projects, not sure if I wanna do much more. My pool and beer fridge are calling me quite loudly at this point.

Finished clearing the area for where I’m to place a slab for a lean-to shed on the side of my house, got it marked out (4′ X 14′), then proceeded to clear what grass was still there and used it to fill the ruts from when I had a Dingo/Bobcat here last month.

Not sure how much more I wanna do on it today as the sun is starting to shine on that…[Read more]

Hot and muggy again today, but at least we shouldn’t be getting hit with anything from Florence as was previously forecast for us last week. Relief from the humidity is coming Wednesday.

My 12V recip gets a lot more use than I originally thought it would. I originally was storing it alongside in the blow mold case of my multi-grip recip, but now it sits in the open at the ready near my drills now.
