It will be....my rough estimate call for 20 cubic yards of dirt to be removed (a cubic yard is approximately equal to a cubic meter). Right now, I anticipate doing that work as well as constructing the concrete forms, then hire a concrete contractor to pour and finish the concrete. That will keep the cost down....I also have to replace an irrigation line and sprinklers heads as the existing line will be under the new slab.
Although, I could see this one ending in a tie and going to kicks. Spain has been underwhelming so far. They are great at holding possession for the majority of the match, but have not capitalized or created many scoring chances. That may change today, who knows?
The main reason for the expansion of the concrete slab is that I cannot grow grass for about 5 feet out from my existing end of slab. This is on the north side of my house, back yard, and due to the roof line, this section of the yard gets no direct sunlight for about 6 months of the year. Now that I have two large dogs, they lay in this strip. When the dirt/sand it damp/wet, it sticks to their fur and they bring it into the house. This condition extend to the west next to the house where there is no existing concrete slab. I have the backyard fenced and have drainage issues at the gate at the west end of the house. I can solve these drainage issues and just clean up that area by continuing the concrete new concrete slab as a concrete walk thru the gate and connecting to the existing concrete driveway. If I had a good sketch for you to see, you would understand quickly what I am talking about.

You did a pretty good job of verbalizing it and I think I got a mental picture. Dogs will be mad that you are taking up their spot thoughThe main reason for the expansion of the concrete slab is that I cannot grow grass for about 5 feet out from my existing end of slab.

I am out for awhile guys......BBL....
I would prefer to see Spain move on as well, but mostly because of my generic disfavor anything french. I will say that so far Spain is having a hard time moving the ball into the french end. Might be a day where Spain has to rely on long crosses and counters.
