The Conclusion of The Concrete Saga – Part 1 of 5

What began as a simple trilogy has become a full-blown eight part saga, and not because the first few installments made a ton of money, believe you me, even though we live in Los Angeles and work in the biz.

We also had some big stuff to haul out.

Fenway looked on.

Is she a maniac? Yes. Is she a lady welder looking for work? I just don’t know.

Filling the truck was slow going. This is more than a one day job.

This is the end of Thursday:

Never in my life have I been so happy to see dirt.
