No Time For BBQ

 

The garden beds are done, and vegetables, (and seeds), are planted.

 

Also layed mulch walkways and threw out some grass seed.

 

I see a lot of watering in my future.

 

Here's the new Crabapple tree, that the city planted for us, in our front yard.

 

It is doing fine, even bloomed bright Pink blossoms this week.

 

After I cleaned up, and mulched the front flower beds, Terry did some watering.

 

The glass doors to the fireplace are ready to be painted...

 

and the log crib pieces are sanded, painted, and ready to be put back together.

 

This afternoon, we turned our attention to the crumbling brick mortar joints on the back of the house (possibly the cause of basement water leaking). Also broken window ledges...

 

Then there's the caulking...

 

Nothing makes Terry curse, more than caulking.

 

Here, we re-cemented the window sill of the dining room window. This has been a huge leaky spot in the basement. Hope it works... Hi Shorty, in the window.

 

Here, we tried out our hand at tuck pointing... The whole back of the house is in disrepair, cracks, and crumbling, and holes, and we are learning as we go.

 

This is the side of the garage, and Terry used some left over cement to fill in a huge gap, along the wall. Once again, hopefully this will stop some of the water seepage that we have been experiencing inside the garage.

 

Back to the fireplace screen... Terry is cleaning the surface (and roughing it up), so I can paint it.

 

Evident in these pictures, is the fact that we will never run out of projects at Project House.

 

Happy Memorial Day.

 

Oh yea, and we had a microwaved hot dog.
