In short for me its both painful and amazing to watch =) The amount of energy you use to do the work is easy 3x what I would have used =) But as you said in the Vid you work with what you have, and there is only one way to compensate for lack of experience and equipment and that is just to work Harder and longer hours =) .. The end result was amazing and also nice video =) Keep it up and remember to take care of the body as well its hard on the body to work like this ..

    Man I’m impressed that your wife even let you start this project. I restore antiques(furniture, tools and homes) for a living and each time I say something like “ I bought new tile for the entryway for the house, she says “Great! Who do you want me to call to get it done?”😂🤣 She know that after almost 40 years of marriage that I always put a client or friends project first. I designed and put in a new kitchen 7 years ago and it looks beautiful except that I still haven’t trimmed out the door to the deck, one wall of baseboard and the window. I keep promising myself I’ll get to it but things always get in the way. She works from home so I won’t want to work while she works and she doesn’t want the noise when she is off work so I am planning on surprising her when she does the Thanksgiving groceries by getting it done, I already have the wood so it’s just cutting finishing and installing. My bet is she won’t even notice😂🤣😂Will serve me right to. Good job on tackling this, I didn’t think you could do it in 7 days by yourself but I have done several paver driveway before with a crew of 6 and we were pushing it. That is one labor intensive job. Congratulations on your perseverance it looks great!
