Day 8: parting of the patio

This was my final backyard project requiring a crew of strong, experienced men wielding jackhammers. The ask was simple. Remove existing concrete and replace with extra-thick slabs of flagstone.

The patio facelift turned out to be anything but easy. The homeowner before me covered the original 1964 patio with another layer of concrete. The removal was slow and extremely difficult. This “simple” project took 8 men, working in shifts for a total of six hours. When the project was completed, I was advised by Randy, he would have never bid so low, If he had known about the older concrete hidden underneath.

Randy honored his original bid. (thank you Randy)
I now have a wonderful space to work with.

Many thanks to Randy Johnson and his team.
