We got a ton of work done around the house. Cleaned off the deck and all the flower beds cleaned out and flowers put in. Got the azealea beds cleaned out and mulched along with the front hosta beds,Took apart the barzebo roof which had collapsed last winter,and thrown away along with a bunch of other trash. Did some cleaning out of the garage and made a more convinient spot for a bunch of my tools.Took the ladder rack of my old truck,ready to sell($350 cash towards vegas fund )
Also painted my 3 shelf planter stand which i filled up with a bunch of herbs(scallions,cilantro,basil,mint,greek and Italian oregano,tarragon,fennel,and parsley.Made a spot to stick some potato buds in a section of a flower bed. I'm also doing some container gardening with tomatoes(better boy and roma's). Got the trellises installed for those as well.
Two trips to home depot and got a couple cool thing along with all the flowers and stuff. Got a really cool firepit for 30 bucks. It was a $90 item,but it was marked wrong,they gave it to us for 30. Got a 50' garden hose that is coiled with a little rack so it takes up almost no space,Installed that on the brick that runs along the front sidewalk,no more tripping over the hose when its hooked up.Very cool.
Cleaned out my closet. Amazing how much stuff I have,some of it still had tags on it.I probably have 200 t-shirts and I realized i'm pretty much a walking billboard. Every state ,city,roller coaster,bars and too much more is well represented. I also cleaned out a few of our junk drawers in the kitchen.I bet we had 100,000 address labels in one drawer,sheets and sheets of 'em. We probably only mail 2 dozen letters a year now.
I think thats it,SHEEWEE! It all couldn't have gotten done w/o the help of my wifes parents(actually i consider them my parents too,I couldn't ask for nicer in-laws). They were here fri. and part of saturday.
Oh,I forgot,our fridge was gasping for its last breath, so hit HHGREGG for a new fridge. It came saturday so that was a little bit of a fiasco.Who in the heck says 'don't use for 24 hrs after plugging in'. HUH? we have a ton of shrimp and meat amongst other stuff.
Not too bad for a guy like me. Felt great to be outside getting things done.
