Check List....

So far this Spring Break...things have been happening!

We had a job of cleaning up a yard for one of Kyle's clients.  He had massive amounts of leaves,

collected over the YEARS that we got rid of and also a couple of suckers on a tree next to his

sidewalk.  It went pretty good and we got things done just as the rain came.  Oh yeah, I also

am OLD!  Not moving as good after doing all that physical labor!  Yikes!!

Here's a shot of all the leaves on the north side of the house.  I know, Nick looks pretty

impressed.  That's ok.  Cheap labor!!

Here's a "before" of the suckers that all got cleaned out.

And a shot of the front of the house.

And here's a before of the deck on the north side of the yard.

And here's the trailer with all of the debris piled on it to be taken

to the dump.  LOTS of black bags full of leaves!!

Here's the tree with all the suckers taken out, and also

a shot of the front of the house.

And here's a shot of the deck area.  We also cleaned out the garage

and the back patio and flowerbed that is just to the south of the garage.

He can now park his car in his garage...first time since the second day that he moved

into this house!!  Crazy!!

Next on the list of projects was my shed out front.  I wanted to add some shelves

and get it cleaned out.  Did this on the day before the garbage man came....

pretty clever!  Filled the can to the top and still have room now for the rest of the week.

Here's a picture of the shed all emptied out.

The shelves are going to go along that back wall.

And, here they are!  We put up a beadboard wall and then put up

to hanging shelves and added a countertop for a little work area

It rocks!!

This is a blurry picture but you get the idea of what it looks like now.

Also on the "checked off" list:

3 flower beds emptied of weeds and leaves

pond emptied and cleaned out, new water added

water turned on and checked all sprinklers....only had to replace a spray this year!!

fertilized lawn

Pretty good huh!!  I'm happy with it all.  Can't believe tomorrow is going to be Wednesday already!!

Time flies when you're having fun!!!!!

P.S.  Briar is due home tomorrow AND my BABY is going to be 18 years old tomorrow!!!!!!
