What a difference a few days make!! The last day there was a lot of shovelling & raking, but you knocked it outta the park!! Having an eye for grade makes life ever so much easier. Your vision of the front porch. I get it. Makes a nice place to be on a quiet day and has some impressive curb appeal. When you are well over 100 feet back of the road & your home is big enough,,, it’s soo, so nice! I had to laugh when you said it’s cold out there!! Naturally, winter caught up with us here! It’s -32C, but this morning it was -40C (40 below F, they overlap here) with a wind chill of -50C (58 below F). 108 degrees F difference!!! 😂😂😂. Needless to say there’s a nice fire in the fireplace and I’m doing NOTHING today. Took the dog into the city to daycare!! Let her get her exercise there today!! She doesn’t want to go out at all!! Her feet are smarting from her minimal exposure, poor thing!! Should be decent around -18C (0 F) by Monday. Can start doing stuff outside again! We got about 5” of snow and I just used the 60” roller sweeper we have. Gets all the snow off to very clean asphalt & concrete. Sure glad I have a cab & heater!! 😊😊 This was a great project video. I’m looking forward to seeing the grass grow in (probably already has there,,,) front & side. That concrete to the stone looks nice. It will be a nice patio. I agree with extending it when the time is right. See how much you really use it first!! All the best there and “keep warm”,,, 😂😂😊😊

Yeah, I hate shoveling but it’s all part of the job! 😂 thanks, yeah it will definitely help with curb appeal.. holy crap that’s cold… we lived in Alaska and a couple times it got to -70 for a week here and there.. don’t miss that at all! It’s going to be in the teens here for the next two weeks, brrrrrrrr … stay warm my friend!!

Chief, another fantastic Video. The guys did an outstanding job pouring the cement and the Mason really knows his art form. At the end you almost lost your Tractor rolling in reverse, lol.

[@shotslife]

Yeah my Mason buddy is amazing! Yeah it’s barely moving at regular speed, hydrostatic trans…lol

[@Richard-C]

looks great,quite the time lapse between the cement poor and the aerial view at the end,green trees 🌳 to bear trees 😁,great project can't wait to see you start the roof project 👏👏👏👏👏👌👌👌👌👌👍👍👍👍👍

[@shotslife]

Thanks brother, yeah the drone had to be shipped off so by the time I got it back things had changed a little!

[@douglasthompson2740]

You found a gem in your stonemason. It turned out really nice. Can't wait to see the results when you get the front done.

[@shotslife]

Yeah my mason buddy is amazing!

[@jeffreykline1854]

Runaway Tractor! Porch looks great, love the brick work.

[@user-nh1vb6xf9z]

[@shotslife]

lol, I sure wouldn’t want to do it for a living! Hahahaha! Hope you’re doing well Bob!

[@markmccauley7597]

Beautiful! I'd be tempted to call that good (at least for a while)! That said, I'm looking forward to seeing the finished front facade! Kudos!

[@shotslife]

Thanks! Yeah well the wife wants what the wife wants, 😂! She has allowed me to do plenty so I have to keep her happy so I can keep doing projects!

[@dennisd6527]

porch extension looks great. Love the stonework.

[@shotslife]

Thank you and yeah my Mason Buddy is Amazing!

[@rickmervine9952]

Looking good, Chief! You're right - when we refocus and take the time, there really are some good, knowledgeable people out there. . . . and there will always be some that will never make that threshold! Happy New Year to you and your wife!

[@shotslife]

Yeah, my mason buddy is crazy good, he has done it his whole life, sooo much experience… so much to be said for that. Happy New year brother!

[@Overpar73]

That brick work is an art form all by itself, looks nice!

[@shotslife]

My Mason buddy is crazy good.. he’s retired but has been a mason his whole life. Amazing human.

[@douglasthompson2740]

I think your drone got as upset as I get seeing no chairs and steel stomped to the bottom of the pour. That driver was good. Nice addition.

[@shotslife]

lol, thanks

[@rawister]

[@bobbacon7505]

[@sgt.dinger4248]

exceptional

[@shotslife]

Thanks buddy!!

[@robertengster5643]

Maybe one day somebody hire you out. Lol like you don't have enough to do..

[@shotslife]

Hahahahaha, I’ll be too tired! 😂

[@ericfraser7543]

36:20 To make the new and the old Concrete match better you could try what #MikeHaduck does on his channel and paint your new concrete with Mud. First time I saw the top down approach for the stone vanier makes a lot of sense to avoid cuts where you would see it.

[@shotslife]

Interesting..

[@spicynomad]
