It has been a while since I've posted...I just came to my site randomly tonight and thought I'd write a something down.

Did some good man work today, moving bricks, cinder blocks and shoveling.
We are putting a sweet new deck in and needed to remove our old back steps.

Ok, I'm going to bed.
Gotta wake up early.....6 am

I'm a pretty big fan of MMA (Mixed Martial Arts)

I saw this picture of Rich Franklin's Face on his website, and decided to make a little before and after fight picture. (The first picture is just a regular picture of Rich, well he usually has one black eye, for real constant black eyes)
Rich Franklin Fought Matt Hamill UFC: 88

I didn't make this second one, but it's of Forrest Griffin, the light heavy weight champ right now (For the UFC)

Here is also a sample of what some of the fighters were being paid for UFC 88:

Rashad Evans: $120,000($60,000 win bonus included) def.
Chuck Liddell: $500,000

Rich Franklin: $100,000($50,000 win bonus included) def.
Matt Hamill: $10,000

Dan Henderson: $250,000 ($150,000 win bonus included) def.
Rouismar Palhares: $7000

Tim Boetsch: $16,000 ($8000 win bonus included) def.
Matt Patt: $5000

There is also a $60,000 bonus for Fight of the Night, KO (knockout) of the night and Submission of the night. That weren't included.

This is a little video I made. It is of the World's Strongest Ant
I also posted it on break.com, please go and vote for it, so I can get $200 thank you

The Ant is pulling a Bumblebee, he pulled it some distance too, probably around 10-15 feet.
That's a large distance for an ant.

Wooooo doggy...

Good Weekend. Mad Kegger at my friends (Moucky) APARTMENT. Everybody was ripped.

.....continued from Friday.

Here are the some more pictures of the pool, during different stages of the Construction.

These were taken with a cell phone camera, that is why the quality is not the best.

These are the old steps, which we removed with a lot of force, and a reciprocating saw (F*ckin' Rip saw!! Yeah!!)

Here are the new steps and re-cemented walkway. My Dad did the trowelling and
me and my brothers did the mixing and shoveling.

This is the Pool pretty much ready to put the liner in. We had to drain the water (from rain), Vacuum and sweep all the sand, little pebbles, rocks, sticks, bugs and any tiny specks of dirt.
You don't want that junk under the liner.

The pool liner installed, there is a ShopVac taped behind the liner to suck all the air out, to get it sealed pretty much to the floor and walls.

Photo of the deep end during Vacuum sealing. Hahhaa

Shallow end Vacuum sealing. We made a custom step seal, out of garbage bags, Vapour barrier
and Everyones favourite, Duct tape.

Here we started filling with water, the liner was nice and snug against the floor and walls.

Finished product with the Pool cover on.

Finished Pool with No cover on.

There was obviously much more work involved here, than these pictures show.
I think there is some other misc. photos of the process floating around, when I find
them I will post them up.

2008-07-25T12:32:00.004-04:00

Here is the before/midway/after pictures of the pool.
My brothers and I (also my Dad and his friend Rick) Did all the work ourselves.

This is the reason for all the work.
A big ol' rip in the liner.

More to come.....

Newish website

2008-07-11T16:52:00.002-04:00

Fancy shmancy new design.

Don't have any real update.

In a couple days I will put up some pics of my Pool.
We got new steps and a new liner and it looks pimp.

The pictures will show, pretty much from start to finish and before and after.(Hahaha, thats pretty much the same thing)
It'll be good.
