Hives ordered

Oh my! I ordered my main hive set up this week! Hives (x2) veil/jacket, smoker, tool, velcro leg straps, bee brush. Oh my! $380 bucks! Expensive hobby! But the honey will be sooo good!
I still have to get my gloves, and I am going to make covers to slip on over my jeans!
Now to figure out exactly where I am going to set them up! Every time I make up my mind; I change it! I think on the concrete pad by our old back door. It is on the south side of the house and isn't used anymore. The kids don't play over there very often. Plus they need to learn to leave them alone anyway!
Now to decide if we are going to make a stand or use concrete blocks or what!
I am leaning towards the blocks because the hives could weigh 3-4 hundred pounds when full setup!
I am going nutz lol..
