Next Project
Since June 15th I have been working on another project, a deck with a trellis on top.
I completed the deck over the first weekend but was trying to find someone, at a reasonable price, to dig the holes and put in the post. the average price that I received was $250.00. I was not gonna pay that for 8 post (also need 4 for a fence).
So after trying to get my nephews to help out I decided to try and tackle it myself. I DID IT. It was not as hard as I thought it would be.
Due to cost of the wood I am not able to put up the trellis at this time. Instead I ordered a shade sail from Amazon that was suppose to be delivered today.
In all the years that I have ordered from Amazon this is the first time that I did not get my order by their stated date. I will post a picture once the shade sail finally gets here.
Thought for today: Conquer what intimidates you.
Thanks for visiting!

You never stop do you? 🙂 You remind me of my brother. He’s bought a little house in the country, in Normandy and he’s always fixing things up. It’s nice that you have a good piece of land with the house, so you can have a garden, a terrace… This deck will be great. Compliments Robin.

Thank you so much Brian!
Lol no I don’t stop…I have to do something. I hope to see all my ideas (for the outside) completed within 4 years. It would be nice to have a clone or even a teenager willing to learn and work for a few bucks.

A 4 year plan? Wow. That’s good thinking. Gives you time to do things with care and no rush.

I have many ideas of things that I wish to do and most times it is only me doing it. I am not a young whipper snapper any more so gotta space it out.

That’s what happens. Even though there may be many people in your house. 🙂 Oh. Just another crazy “Mom-mom” stuff. Tell me about “whipper snapper”! I have found out in recent years I can’t walk as many miles a day I used to… sigh…

At least you can still count the miles you walk. I rarely hit 10,000 steps a day which approximately 1 mile.

I use the app on my iphone. 10,000 steps a day is about 5 klicks, so that should be more than 1 mile (1.6 km). I’m an urban dweller. I walk as much as I can. Hate cars. (Don’t even have one any more. Use Uber. My wife still has hers which is fine)
