When we moved in our current house about three years ago, we realized that we had a lot of projects to do. One involves removing the sidewalks in our backyard.
The story is that the previous owner had a love of roses and planted the whole backyard with rose bushes. She had concrete paths laid throughout the back yard and the roses planted in between. I can imagine it was beautiful.
Now, the concrete paths have affected our drainage and that is not a good situation when we get a lot of rain or experience a hurricane. Thus, we really need to remove them.
A few months ago, Todd rented a jackhammer and spent two long days cracking the sidewalk up. Now, we have finally gotten use of a bobcat to lift up and remove the sidewalk. Our friend who is letting us use the bobcat did a trial run a few days ago to see if he and Todd's plan would work. He tried to lift the sidewalk up in several different places, to no avail. I started to get concerned that the bobcat would not be able to A) get underneath the sidewalk and B) actually be powerful enough to lift the pieces.
Finally, we found a place where Todd had broken up the sidewalk a bit already and the bobcat was able to lift and remove a large piece. Yes, now the work begins!
