Some times things have a slow start, then before you know it speeds up and more gets done that you ever thought possible.
This weekends projects started with taking down the uuuuglyyyy pink ceiling fan in what will be the kitchen to eventually be able to paint the ceiling and then install the new one I bought a while back. While the fan was done, this little light was installed to keep things illuminated inside.
I also got some spakeling done on the sheet rock under the new windows. Dad's way to teach me how to spakle is to compare it to icing a cake. Think of it that way and it doesnt seem so impossible anymore.
Above is the before picture. And below is the after.
Yard work was main project of Friday. Below is the before picture of the back corner with all the branches piled up on it. There was so much trash mixed in there as well. It was hard work, but the yard is looking better.
By the end, we had at least 5 big piles of leafs, branches and trash that needed to get burned and tossed. We did a medium sized pile. It was fun, I love fire. Seriously I love fire.
Also on Friday we finished the garden. We started it the night before and were missing just a little to get it done. It got finished on Friday, the second layer timbers were screwed in, the top soil laid, and then after our burning frenzy, we plants were placed.
We decided to name our little plants. The watermelons are named after female country stars, the cilantro's last name is Hispanic, the Japanese egg plant is named after a character from Princess Mononoke a Japanesse anime. All of them got named, and eventually I will make little name plates for them.
