The previous owner of my old bachelor pad house must have had a connection with some concrete company. I had the only two car wide driveway in the neighborhood. The chain link fence in the back yard was set in concrete all the way around the back yard, and there was a concrete border on the front side of the flowerbed. There was a concrete border to section off the very back of the yard under the pecan trees that was a vegetable garden from what my neighbors told me. Since the pecan trees were so big no veggies would ever grow back there.

I figured I would break up the concrete border of the veggie garden to make it easier to mow. That border was concrete that was 2 feet deep. I felt like I was digging out a foundation stem wall. I had to smash it into pieces small enough to haul to the front driveway and had to pay to have it hauled off. It was an insane project that was one of the thing I regretted starting. No way could I do that much work at my age now. I was young and tough back then in my late 20s. I figured that border was maybe 6 inches deep. I was way wrong but I refused to let it whip me. I endeavored to persevere!

There was a concrete pad for a storage building that was falling down from rust on the west side a 10x10 concrete walled compost bed on the east side.
