salvador

In my landscaping project, I’m getting to the point where things are starting to get very heavy.
Could it be that maybe I’m getting really tired?! Nah 🙂 Either way, this week, I hired Salvador.
He’s the son-in-law of someone I know really well and wow…he works as hard as I do!
His first job was to move 6 tons of rip rap. I helped a little but my job is to spread it out.

He’s also built a small concrete wall and then put stone caps on all the walls which involved
cutting some of the caps to fit. How handy is it to get a guy with all his own construction tools!
Salvador is an out of work construction worker who knows how to do everything so I have
plans for him to be doing a lot more than just moving rocks. If you haven’t figured it out,
I’m very impressed by him. Here’s someone who’s used to making a lot of money yet
you can tell he takes pride in his work whether it’s shoveling dirt, moving rocks or building
a house. I’m sure it won’t be long before someone snaps him up. Me first, though 🙂

  1. I think when your landscaping is finished (although I suspect it will never be really finished) that it will be in a magazine of some kind. Maybe you will have one of those architectural tours of your house and property. I sure am enjoying the evolution of this project.
