POISON IVY!

the culprit.
I've been itching all weekend. I cant recall seeing any while i was out there working in the yard. But i returned yesterday (after rain kept me away,,,oh yah, and the itching) and as I took the time to find what i knew was actually there, well, it was everywhere. which makes me glad that I did not get it any worse than I did.

Now, how to get rid of it. Ill come up with something to get it out from the root so it doesnt come back!

Here is that whole area, from this distance you cant make it out, but its there!
there is also a whole bunch of trash that I need to get bagged up and in the trash can. My house was rented for a long time, and at some point a bag of trash was left back there to bow be picked up by me.

Also, its been raining in the area. It was windy, really windy for a few days, well, it took down the tree next door, (actually, back yard neighbor) Disregard those clothes line poles, they didnt fall down, they were part the trash pile in the corner. I didnt get a chance to talk to the neighbor, but he was out there taking the lower branches down.
Now, on to happy things... the pantry

Right now its a storage for some of the things i dont want trampled as we remodel. But, all this stuff will eventually need to be put in, screwed in, or taped up. (taped up if I do it)

As I have mentioned before, these existing rack and selves will be coming down. And new ones will go in. That will have to wait for dad, but in the mean time, I think I am capable of taking them down and painting the pantry. I am thinking ill paint the back wall yellow, and probably do the other walls in white.

New electrical outlets and boxes have been installed. The most important ones were for the oven and fridge I am putting into the kitchen. also, the living room feels quite dark, so I wanted the option to install some more lighting in there, the picture above shows one of the two new boxes installed in the ceiling were I will have some track/spot lights installed.

Above is a picture of the stove's outlet, and a regular outlet that should be counter height.

I questioned naming this blog after the address of the house. Well, I guess there was reason to hesitate, apparently the US post office has decided to change my address. This was on my mail box recently. So, if you were planning on mailing something to me, its not 222 on st Louis street, its 126.
Dont really know how I feel about it, I liked having three twos. I guess Ill just have to get used to it. Right?
