Not sure how it works for you, but there are certain days I feel like I should push myself and other days maybe not so much. Amazing work regardless!

Yeah I get those but I usually try to grind through unless something feels really, really off.

@Human_Backhoe and @silentlemon1011 I am a puss. I had to dig four 12" diameter 3 ft. deep holes (approx 1 meter ) as part of a yard project I'm doing. Took me 4 damn hours and I'm freakin gassed. I"m guessing you two would have had it done in 75% less time and would have called it a warm up for the days work. And rocks. God damn rocks the whole way down.

I'm going to bed.

Got the four 12 ft 4x6 posts cemented in the holes. All it took was twenty 50lb bags of quikrete lol. They are plumb and level and I am happy. The redwood goes up tomorrow to dress them up then I’m stringing lights between them. Will get pics up tomorrow so it makes more sense. Wife comes home tomorrow and she is going to be surprised and I’m gonna get laid.

Close. It’s actually two arbors with lights strung between them. Turned out really good but cost me two workouts dammit. Freaking exhausted after yesterday. pics later.

Pretty happy with how this turned out. I’ve got plans to add some horizontal boards to the bottom half but I’m good with it for now.

Holy shit, that's beautiful man!

This is a better angle that shows the full project. It’s midnight here and I’m still just hanging out in the backyard reading and enjoying the ambience.

 

[CohibaRobusto]

That's badass. I like the built in umbrella stands too. I wish we would have done those when we built our pool.

I like them a lot. We had one on our pool at the old house but this one is designed better. It’s got a table built in too with a bench on three sides. Awesome for having a drink on a hot day.

Wow. Between the pool and your gym you never need to leave your home!

That’s the idea! We hit the jackpot from a housing perspective by leaving California when we did. We bought our old house at the bottom of the market in 2010 and sold it at the peak a few months ago. Housing is crazy in Arizona right now too but with as much equity as we had I was willing to sell High and buy high to get everything we wanted.

The door is open if any of you smelly bastards wanna make the trek to Arizona. Get a lift in, hit the pool, melt from the heat and do it all again the next day.

That would be cool as hell but at times like these I am reminded of the words of that great American stoic and philosopher ,Bosco Albert Baracus ...
