Instead of working on my car, I have been working to increase the value of my house. Or thats at least how I like to think of it. Maybe I am just going through my jeff95ta stage. When we bought the house the sidewalk always bugged me. It was narrow in some spots, didn’t match, and the steps were just unsafe. So with the help of my father in law and some friends we ripped out the old sidewalk and poured 5.25 yards of concrete with an exposed aggregate finish. There was a ton of work done over the last three weeks and I am glad it is almost over. Here are some pics of the before and after. I still have to work on the landscaping which I am hoping to get most of it done in the next two weeks.
