Love the make-over Tim!
Great project.

Much better than new cosmetics on a 50-year old :lol: :lol:

I'm betting your remaining sliver of lawn will be a goner.

Here's to all the global warming pushers, may your winters be -30 below and four feet of snow in your driveway. Because I want you happy.

You're screwed in a few years with that larger windmill. It's making me thing "what did I do?" with buying 8 footers this spring.... I hope mine slow down big time and just stay how they are.
