Good Morning

Yesterday did not go as planned as I clipped a gas line and had to have the GasCo come out. It is a line that runs in the backyard to the detached garage where the laundry room is. I forgot there is a shut off valve on the back of the house. So at least there is gas running into the house. So now I have to dig up the line and replace it as it is old and deteriorating. It is in an area where we are replacing a grass section with pavers for more patio space and less yard work for me.

Good news is as I was waiting for GasCo in front of the house my neighbor (a contractor) stopped by and as we were talking I mentioned building the bmx track and he can get me all the dirt I want for free

I know for a lot of you this sounds like a given but in LA it can be hard to locate with costs usually $7 a cubic yard for delivery so this will save me about $400

This may sound confusing but my backyard is split into two sections as it slopes upward from the back of the house so it is terraced a couple times to create flat sections.

I also realized since the track will run behind my garage and patio/shed areas that the old roofs on them probably should be replaced before I move all the dirt in. Replacing them was on the list of shit to do just like the pavers were but looks like it would be easier to have all that done first delaying the track build by a few weeks.

Anyhoo, doing a little biz work first to try and let the humidity drop a bit before going out to dig.

Enjoy your Sunday!
