Jan. 8th, 2006 02:15 pmIt's been a busy weekend. Yesterday I did a lot of organization of crap and putting things in bins and such. I also rented a wet saw and cut and laid the tile in the bathroom closet. Wet saws are awesome. I also got a hedge trimmer and trimmed the bushes in the front of the house. Amazing what a difference it makes to not have greenery in the window.
I was planning on doing grout today, but the weather is gorgeous so I've worked outside all day. I put down fresh mulch around the plants in the back yard. I put up some brick-like edge things around the plants too since I had them sitting there waiting to be set out. Then I raked leaves in the front and back yard. After that I mowed and trimmed things to make it look extra-neat. Putting the mower on mulching mode makes the stray leaves I didn't rake turn into little bits that don't look like forgotten leaves :) It also tears up the sugar gum balls pretty good so they're not as roly-poly lethal anymore.
When brent came over around noon, he brought some yard waste bags so I could bag up the leaves. I had hurt my back with the heavy mulch bag so bending over to pick up leaves was a little painful but I think good because I feel much more stretched out now.
Mack cat was outside with me almost the whole time. Gosh that cat goes nuts over leaves blowing in the wind.
I told the neighbors I'll probably be moving soon. They're so nice...Patty said she didn't want me to go but she guesses she has to let me. Heh. She also suggested that certain folks in her household would be very excited if a 17 year old boy moved in here though. hehehe.
Inside I still need to do a lot of cleaning. I need to take a huge load of crap to goodwill or something. There's a bunch of construction-based trash that I need to get rid of so I can't just put it out with the trash..I'll have to get a special pickup or something. But really, mostly what needs done is cleaning, so hopefully I can finish all that this week.
Brent touched up the paint on the ceiling, but I gave him the wrong paint bucket and instead of ivory it was a blue-white shade. The difference is very minor but I can see it so we'll probably want to touch those up with the right paint. He also caulked in the bathroom and sawed off the bottom of the door to the laundry room so it closes again. I might throw a coat of paint on the bathroom walls too since the touch-up paint I got is very slightly different than the rest. That won't take long though.
I just got cleaned up so we can head over to illinois. I want to stop by knitorious on the way though so I can start my booga bag :)
