Progress...
By the end of this week, we will be pretty darn close to checking two major items off of our “house to-do” list.
The major work on the spare room is almost complete. We
still have to paint, install closet doors, light fixtures and new
carpet, but in my opinion those are minor items compared to gutting,
wiring, dry-walling, mudding and sanding.
The other major item almost accomplished this week has been the removal of 4 very old pine trees from our side yard. The
trees have been there a long time and were quite large; however because
of their age, they had started to die from the bottom up and had become
a very large eyesore.
Knowing
I would be losing my privacy once those trees were removed has caused
me a great deal of anxiety this week because our back yard is now
visible from the road that runs alongside our house. *sigh*
Here are some before and after pictures. There’s still a lot of clean-up work to do once the tree guys come back to finish. Once
all is said and done, it will look much better and J won’t have to
worry about cleaning out the gutters filled with pine needles on a
weekly basis.
Hmmm, what project should we tackle next? There certainly isn’t a shortage of things to work on, but I think a privacy fence may be in order….

PS- going to need a fence for nude sunbathing!
