Crazy size of this pad...

Looking good Chew. I know y’all are excited about seeing the progress. That underbrush work you had done looks good.
As a suggestion when you do get your siding of choice on your home, until there is grass growing, to keep the dirt from splashing up on the sides during rains you can put hay around the base of it. I put down hay around ours to keep it from getting on the brick when it was new, but our 60/40 came from red dirt Nacogdoches County. We also had a significant slope on our pad also and it was poured about this time of year also. I tried all kinds of grass seed etc to keep it from washing off during heavy rains. I even tried terracing it with my blade/box blade without any luck. What finally stopped it was railroad ties until I got my permanent yard going good.

Thanks for the info. How to exactly did you use the railroad ties?

Hey Bobby I spent the weekend at my dad's place on his tractor picking up huge limbs and small trees that succumbed to the freeze. He's west of town on 7 about 8 miles or so. How bad did you guys get it?

Shane, it wasn't too bad. Lotta pine limbs. It sounded like a war with all the limbs breaking around us.

That's what he said, sounded terrible. I think East of town did a lot better than West!

Your place is looking good amigo, good luck with that build!

Lots of technical jargon/plumbing terms that are probably over yalls' heads:
