Summer Events

Been a while since my last post…keep busy doing things outside when it’s nice.  God only knows there is plenty of crappy weather here (4 – 6 months) that a person can sit inside and wish about being out!

Any ways, so what have I been up to you ask?  Good question…gardening, mowing, organizing the garage and shed and working on some wood working projects.  These are besides the normal wear and tear maintenance that occurs almost daily.

Put in a Flag pole, garden and  planted flowers, also added blocks and glued around the Peonies on either side of the sidewalk in the background.

Bought and  put up a Gazebo canopy on the back deck, as you can see. Also redid the garden, putting up a new fence, as well as making the garden a bit bigger from last year.

Planted a number of flower pots this year and a nice Herb garden too.  Been cleaning out and moving plants around in all of the flower gardens in the back and around the house.

Added  on to the flagstone and bought a fold up Picnic table…pictured above.

Organized both the Shed and Garage…moving things around, making things more convenient and easier to find.  Labeled everything that I could, so thing go back to where they belong.  Built a wall mount Tool holder… This works beautifully as you can see!  Took  me about  6 hours to do from start to finish.

Refinished my bench top.  The top was painted green, same as the front of  bench.  Scrapped, sanded  and scrubbed to clean it off and then re-finished. 

Installed brick in the front, on both sides of the ramp going into the shed.  Don’t have to worry about weed whipping there any more.  Put a rain gutter on the one side of shed and have, just need to install rain gutter on the front and back of house.  As well as repair damaged gutter clips from the harsh winter on the north side of the house.

So that’s what I’ve been up to since the weather got nice…Time to get back to work on some projects for today.  Got to ‘Make hay, while the sun shines’
