Bone Tired

It is work week up here on the hill. We have been working hard, neglecting our children and working outside until 6 PM, then collapsing (after a much needed shower). The goal is to have the house ready to sell by next week. We have had plenty of projects that need to be done. The biggest one was to create a patio out of the brick pavers recycled from the front sidewalk that became a flower bed. There were 9 cement pavers under this lean-to originally, about 2 foot square. We dug up sod and lined the garage with them. The lean-to itself has a fresh new coat of stain. I think it turned out pretty well for amateurs!


We used all recycled and found items for the project...and this is all that is left. Interested M?

We have also cleaned and repaired gutters and chimney, repaired the parking area, replaced a deck board and the roofing over the basement stairs, and I am about half done re-staining the deck.

4 more boxes arrived for J today...one is a printer, think the others may be computer parts! I need to clear out my desk to make room for J's school area and rid the study of all these boxes!

Sheesh...I'm exhausted! I am SO looking forward to having a new house where no home repairs are required for many years! (On that subject, we applied for our building loan...red tape because Flood Insurance folks believe we are in a flood plain!)

We are planning on stopping early tomorrow to take in the Greene Co. Fair. Hope you all are well!
