from the winter that wasn't

We missed winter this year, and we're now rushing straight into some summer weather and getting ready for those lazy pool days! Had lots going on today.

We took down 5 big trees that were blocking our afternoon sun, and that was pretty fun. I posted vids of 2 of them. One of them got stuck in the other trees and didn't come down. Oh well, it will some day. But the rest of them Darryl got down exactly where he wanted them.



We also had some guys here putting insulation in our attic, and some other stuff I guess.

I started painting our little park bench thingy. So far I got the black done, and the primer done. But when it's finished it will be like an eggplant color. Should look awesome!

We also had to move the pool so Darryl could clean the deck to get ready to spray it with sealant.

See how pretty it is looking?

Here's our pile of trees!!

Tomorrow is more work. We hope to get the deck sealed, get the pool leveled and set up, get the park bench painted, and start ripping up the carpeting in the boys bedrooms (after we move furniture).

Oh yeah, we are also going to make a fire pit and put some of those big logs around it...that will be fun.

This is tree #1, the bugger that got stuck.

This is tree #5.
