Carried Away

My "planned" projects got deferred again because the neighbor across the street is going to demolish the house they just bought and build a much bigger house, a very common thing around here? They asked if we wanted anything. They had some brick walkways , a 10x15 shed and a new heat pump. We thought we'd take these. Then reality set in and we realized our age and decided against trying to move the building (even if broken into 6 pieces, each would weigh about 1000 lbs, its real redwood timbers and siding and 10 feet tall), and the heat pump (it would be difficult to duct to our house). Boy I'm glad we had second thoughts. However, the bricks were "easy" to get and can always be used. The easy part changed when there were three times as many as i originally estimated. There was a lot of plant litter on the ground hiding 2/3s of the bricks. Couldn't pass them up so it took a little longer to move the 770 bricks. Every day is exciting. I had planned on pouring some of the sidewalk today.
