Concrete is a great option, very resilient in the texas heat, no critters to worry about... etc

DIY project?

If I have even a little peice of a clue on how to do it RIGHT, then I would probably attempt it. Unfortunately I don't.

Thanks guys, Me and a buddy started setting posts today. We're gonna do it ourselves. I'll post up some before and after pics in a week or so.

Thanks for the replies

lol

Did not read it right, you're 100% Only think I'd build the days is a concrete patio with wood roof.

Well one of my good friends who does know how to build one offered his help, so I took him up on it.

The best thing about that is that I get to learn a thing or two and I save money !! Hard work though, we set 30 of the 50 concrete piers/supports on Fridayn and I was hurtin yesterday !! We will finish that part up tomorrow.

50 concrete pier supports? How big is this mf'er gonna be?

[mikec]

Hit it up Mikec. He is doing all areas of home construction and renovation.

Thanks Sean! And that's right, as I have literally all aspects of construction covered...


<--- Will someday be the man!

I'm all for engineering it correctly, but that sure seems like overkill. I'm sure it will come out fine as long as your friend really knows what he's doing. What size are these piers and how deep are you pouring them?

Yes

[forbes]

Yes

i was about to say.. u are a bad mf if you drilled, tied and poured that many in one day...
but even leveling out that many blocks is doing good for your first time....
hell i wouldnt even want to unload that many
