Lots o’ small things…

Over the last week we have accomplished many things at the house.

1. Ceilings are completely textured and almost ALL painted.

2. Nasty, dirty fireplace is much cleaner. The inside still looks a bit gross but the bricks have improved vastly!

3. Purchased a $40 non running Rota tiller. It is now running!

4. Rota tilled the front yard, laid topsoil, seed, and ground cover. In a few weeks there will be grass!

5. Sprinkler system is now working in the front yard. Mike is also running a pipe to the back yard so he can set up another valve system.

6. House is prepped to be painted. As it was prepped we discovered a few pieces of rotten wood. Better sooner than later right?09-10 141
