Perfect spot , basically all about improvement to home . No worries . Dan

Got the fountain going today . CEO and birds are happy !

Did more clearing today where we’re get rid of plant clippings . Asian Honeysuckle and wild Grape vines were taking over . Cut and dragged up to burn up in fire pit .

I am still working on White rock path , very close finishing project .

I took a break today to go back to the Arbor project since Son-in-law was available and it is 8 foot tall . Realized we were out of square after setting posts in concrete but was still able to make the top even playing with the flex of the 4x4 poles . Need to stain and cut boards to fit to be able to screw in lattice to the sides . I will be glad when this is completed since I’m a novice carpenter everything takes more thinking than doing ! Dan

Just got caught up on this thread since July last year. You've done a lot work, Mg. Looks great!

Looks great Dan!

todays project was to sod beside new concrete . Unfortunately I didn’t quite have enough to complete beside garage . I need about 4 rolls to finish , so finished staining boards to be ready to work on sides of Arbor .

Finally completed Arbor but still have to Flagstone, mulch , and screw hangers.

Awesome work Dan!!! Now take the weekend off cause I’m tired and I didn’t even help

I wish I could and go mushroom hunting . Next few days after tomorrow will be rain so need to mow and finish up garage and plant my peppers . Hopefully and buddy and I can get out with this rain and warmer weather .

Oh completely understand beating the weather…yeah I have to finish staining the deck and plant the hummingbird plants I got today along with some impatiens…we used to have a farm in Western Kentucky (Tolu was the little town) and a local we met said he’d plant our food plots and keep the grass cut around the cabin if we let him turkey hunt and go “shroomin”… we said you gotta deal pickle as long as you call us in some birds (he was an incredible caller) and show us about mushrooms…anyway only ones I remember were lion’s main and oyster but there were others I don’t recall…it was fun but you have to know what to look for…what do y’all find?

Chuckie was down in back today and helped Carole all dat . We started outside around 9:00 , and finished around 5:00 . Planted a bunch of flowers and got all my peppers planted . We even planted a bunch of wild flower seed packs below and Sunflowers . Rabbits will be feasting . Cleaned out pond by garage have two Bullfrogs out of three still in pond . I should have pumps and filter set up this week . More rain coming in tonight and got 2.6 inches last night so didn’t have to water sod project .Yay !

Wind Thunderstorm last night results . We have garbage can by side entrance to garage that is weighted down . Wind picked it up onto patio and blew cans everywhere. Cleaned the mess up and CEO and I spent three hours today picking up limbs and sticks . Fun way to start day . Some homes had severe tree damage, we were lucky .

Frogs and CEO are happy . Still had time to clean deck on Ferris .

Put some finishing touches on Arbor today . MG2

Power washed concrete then finally got planters moved in place . CEO is pleased on a special day . MG2

Forgot about this one till this morning when I was looking for a box of screws…roofed third floor of the henhouse…next up is a run, but that all depends on when Dan comes down to help

Buddy moved lines for me today to finish power washing concrete to garage . Still had some time to repaint a patio set . Salty looks like you are on a roll ! Hiding place for Chickens when shagging in backyard ! Dan

CEO pruned the Quince bushes and I did cleanup . Stihl hedge trimmer only a year old started to run bad so had to use our backup. Took to dealer with blades to sharpen on Ferris .
