That's my thinking. May experiment a tad with heat, and stripper. Of course the only place on the house that is not pealing is the porch, LOL. I do like that method of gaining knowledge. The part you walk on, I was going to try that adhesive (would be faster), then decided that to keep the leaning top step from pushing out the wall farther, I'll have to jack hammer the broken section, then pour the top step. Or at least get someone to do it for me. I am really not seeing myself riding a jack hammer :lol: Beautiful day today, should get lots done. Will also be moving the scooter shed to its final spot, decided to keep the electrical hookup from the garage and get it going again so I have power to my shop  So we are going to slide it over to get closer to the hookup. Don't forget to call your Mom today guys!  |

June 1st update. So this is where it's at, and the latest word from the City Inspector is "Good Progress, keep going." and the roof has been extended to Sept. 30 Before (after scraping):  After:  And where I am at this week:  Still waiting on the repairs on the pressure washer  Oh, and this was in my back yard when I went to ad some more scrap wood to my firepit, that I built from the chimney of the garage. Nice wallpaper  |

Looking good so far! Glad you got an extension on the roof.
Put a trail of corn leading into your door and you might have a new pet! ...or some more repairs to make and a really wild video to share! :laugh:

Yea I know. I don't notice till I see these pictures and see what a difference. That deer was munching on the leeves of a bush I cut down, like there aren't enough leeves in those woods, LOL. I told her to just hang on till I got my camera, and she did It's hard work, but I'm liking the results. Next summer I can chill. |

Looks very good, and you will certainly enjoy the fruits of your labor next summer. That is awesome to have some large wildlife right at your doorstep! Very cool.

I actually live in the middle of town, just right between a little expressway, and a small patch of woods. Wish I could afford to buy the woods too. I've had a possom steeling doughnuts off my porch, and there was that darn rat a couple weeks ago, he may have been made homeless when we tore down the garage  I hope he has moved on rather than in. |

No turkeys yet Not in my yard in town anyway. Run accross them in bunches all the time though. Gotta be the dumbest slowest things out there. I like how they run about 10 feet when scared, then just wander around again. Why the're not extinct I'll never know. Corn fields, forest, and backyard bird feeders'll bring them in. Too much traffic here i guess. My one eared cat would love the challenge of a turkey. And yes the bambis are out and about. lived in Chippewa Falls for a couple years, plenty of herds on the way there. I do love to see them up close like the one in my yard, but not anywhere near the roads. |

Just in time for the up high parts and the concrete stripping, Yeah  For now, I am going to go for a ride, tommorow I paint again, one gallon at a time. :tongue: |
