To tired to move
There is nothing better than a super hot bath after a super long day working in the yard....you can almost feel the hot water soaking into your sore tightened muscles...it is a feeling of a good days work....as I woke this morning...my mind wanted to get out of bed....my body wanted to linger in the comfort of a soft bed..the mind won out....and after hobbling down the stairs and getting the dogs day started my body began to loosen up and get aligned with my mind....we have another long day in the yard ahead of us....today I am hoping to get all the flower beds that we dug out by hand...thanks Penny and Collin....rototill and mulch in them...I have one more flower bed to dig out..then we will be done....we have a trip to the dump....we need remove the dirt from the fence that Collin built for the dogs....it is really quite nice...all that is left is to put a latch on the gate....the dogs are loving the side yard....I am leaving the doors open so they can roam from the sun room ( I guess that is what you would call it) to the back yard to the side yard...the back yard is now all patio and we were able to get all of our furniture on it last night...it is really going to turn out to be a special place the canopy on all the trees are awesome...not so good if you want grass but wonderful as a shaded area outdoor area....I am hoping to get the front yard and side yard furniture in place today....perhaps hang our outdoor lanterns and maybe buy a couple of more plants....the shed materials are coming today....this project has well gotten a little out of hand...we originally purchased a $900.00 shed at Lowe's...I think our original thought was that Collin would put the shed up with my help....we had a concrete pad poured and this is where Collin would store his motorcycle, snow blower, and lawn mowers and shovels....we purchased a barn style roof shed which honestly was the ugliest shed they had....I don't like ugly and home together...so this was a big conflict for me...but it would get us overhead storage that the other sheds could not do.....well we decided that maybe the builder I represent that his hired hands might want to make some extra money and that we could pay them to put up the shed....it would take Collin alot of time and for the cost of $500.00 probably well worth it....So our builder went to go look at the shed that his guys were going to build....he quickly called me and nicely let me know that it was really not very well made...and I know he was thinking really ugly....he offered to design and build one for us...he thought the material list would be less expensive and it wouldn't be ugly and we would have all the storage we needed...a win win....well the cost of materials came in somewhere around $1200.00 so this shed that we budgeted a $1000.00 is now somewhere around $2000.00 once we pay the labor and the poured floor...of course it will be the best build shed in town...probably better built than our home.....but I guess in the big scheme of things we would rather have a well built shed for the extra money...the exciting news is it will be done in one day....Saturday...well for some reason I am in a chatty mood this morning but really I need to get going...until next time
