No kidding, I have some concrete work to do also this spring. Fucking ice.. Looks like I'll be sealing my garage floor with epoxy after I done patching the concrete. Driveway and walk still look good though.

I wasn't sure whether to be pissed or not, then settled on it being mutually beneficial. Apparently some tree removal company came and took it. Works for me, I didn't request it so it's free and they get firewood maybe?

Ya, I guess its not like you have much use for it, so why not? Its the probably the one free thing your getting from this mess

Fucking cracked cement is a motherfucker. You can only seal it, or break it up and pour it agsain, and watch it crack again. Fucking shit.

When my old man had his garage done, he got a steel mesh put into prevent cracking, and had the slab cut, and it still fucking cracked!

Mine isn't cracking, it just the surface in crumbling. Just the top 1/8 to 1/4" is breaking up.

Tree removal is very expensive, so I would let it slide.

You forget where I'm from. I was going to use it as an excuse to buy a chainsaw and then burn it in my firepit.

You beat me too it. I've spent an afternoon buying Chainsaws for less. Chas and I bought one just for the hell of it, while he still lived in an apartment here in town. Kids walking down the sidewalk sure got scared when I suddenly started it up and started cutting up a 6x6 at the end of his parking space...Pansies.

I could only wish for such luck here.
