Great work by your DH!

That is all wonderful and looks great! I'm so jealous of folks who have someone handy in the house.
To give pleasure to a single heart by a single act is better than a thousand heads bowing in prayer." Mahatma Gandhi

okay-----you kids are sadly mistaken, when you "think" welding is just welding, as-if anyone can do it. See----maybe that guy---the previously-mentioned "handyman" can do some agercultural-grade iwah-style welding(or Farmer welds, as they are known), but that does by no means make the dude an experienced certified welder. Nope. So yeah---in the case of an iron stair railing, lives and human safety depend on the intergrity of the welds. Anyway---probably your life and well-being are well worth the price that a real pro would charge($2300). You wouldn't fly to Londumb or Zurritch in a plane that had just been overhauled by a kid they just hired because they were "real handy", would you? I think you dudes will all agree. Pay a pro to do it right. Yup.
Did he have much rock left over? (first picture makes it appear yes)
yes! Lots of rock left over. He is now moving it to a rock pile so we will have a rock pile here, just as we did in our city house for decades. he will probably continue to collect stones of some size because he’s so accustomed to doing that.Originally Posted by ToomuchStuff
oh, I’m quite certain that anything you do would be better than what DH does. Quite certain. I’m sure you’ve built many masonry walls. You just haven’t bothered to show us.
Looks great, IL. How much more needs to be done with the house?
still a lot. The staircase and one room on our first floor needs to be finished. The two bedrooms upstairs need to be finished.
When I say “ finished “I mean woodwork and paint are needed. All the drywall is on. I doubt that he’ll get it done this winter, but he’ll for sure finish the first floor.
I will post a picture of our living room when I get it decorated. DH finished it last spring, but I’m slowly buying furniture and deciding on art and final furnishings.
Ha. I am VERY brilliant, as many of you dudes know. But yeah----steering columns are my particular specialty. Yup.
I wish I was closer. Most of those rocks looked fairly flat. (looks like you could have used them instead of the brick for a walkway)
Things I would do with them, a place for under the trash cans, by the mailbox (don't have to get so close or worry the trash will kill the grass), pad and possibly the fire pit itself (at least a pad under it to keep fire from spreading). The old two tire track driveway and maybe a pad to keep your husbands trailer. (keeps it out of mud, and can be considered paving)
