Week's work

Hi!  

So, we're still plugging away at the front...

The post are in at the top of the front stairs.

(Remember here's how it looked before the stairs.

And my "vision".)

We're getting closer!

Also, we are making slow but steady progress on removing the sods.  

On Saturday it looked like this:

It's not too hard to remove the sods that grew on top of the grey gravel.  Or on top of regular dirt.  But there is some soil with rocks the size of walnuts under some of the grass. That's really hard to dig up because the shovel keeps getting blocked by the rocks.  It's being rock blocked. (Haha!)  So, that's the last part that needs to be dug up.  I'm not sure why that gravelly dirt is there... We must've put it there at some point.

I'm also finishing up the drywall mudding.  I was debating whether to get a small can of kitchen paint to touch up above the wardrobe pantry and by the new doorway to the backroom.  Or for just a little more money I could get a whole new paint color and I could just redo the whole room!  But I actually still like the color so I guess I'll save myself a lot of unnecessary work and just get a little can for touchups.

HH's birthday is this Sunday!  We'll invite his parents up for dinner which will be take-out from the store.  ( I don't think I planned for that in my menu.  I"ll have to change it :-))

Have a wonderful weekend! :-)
