I'm looking to do the exact same thing soon
Did he actually show us him doing anything? Or just talked about a rental.
Get it done Vince!
Fantastic instructions. Home Depot should pay you 😂
I’m going to do the same however 675$ for the dump? Would it be the same price to rent a big Tex and dump yourself instead of a roll off? Seems pricey for just the dump…
uhm, 3:22 i see a spade
Why not have the yard a little lower than your concrete pad? Just curious.
