table 1
this summer i started construction of a concrete table for joe and mary's back yard. the plan was to pretend each of the pieces was a big giant rock and see if we could move it using only tools available during the stone age. kinda like stone henge. or the library at ephesus. or machu piccu. or the great pyramids. anywho, i had everything all planned out. on the first day i dug a hole in the ground. where we ran into the first problem. the chosen location was on top of the remains of a concrete septic tank. sigh. fortunately, mary said she'd rather have the table under the tree instead of breaking apart the buried wall and dealing with yet more smashed up bits of concrete. whew. when i was done it looked like a shallow grave. i built a frame and poured a nice flat slab of concrete sidewalk surface 180 cms by 70 cms at the bottom of the grave upon which the table legs will stand. joe did some stuff too.
