Morning all! Good weekend, lot of work accomplished. Garage rebuild has started. Excavator showed up Friday, dug out behind the garage to clear the back wall. Saturday the crew showed up (2 of my brothers and a good friend).

My brothers (Jon and Dave) are twins, and worked construction with me for about 14 years until the housing crash, transitioning (don't get excited BettyZ) to manufacturing and aerospace work. Jon stuck with manufacturing and works in my inspection department. Dave has always preferred the hands on approach to construction, and ended up in the Navy Yard in Philly, but still has his eye on starting his own business. This gives him his first shot at running a job - paid him directly, let him hire who he wanted and work at figuring this stuff out.

Megan and her parents started working at landscaping the hill behind the house. Beyond clearing the ground cover, I'd guess they put in 60 plants and shrubs, pretty significant work.

I did some part resale in MD, mowed the lawn, and started rebuilding the back stairs. Top and bottom had basically disintegrated. This is my first shot at that kind of masonry work. I'd make changes to my approach if/when I do it again, but it's certainly improved.
