I didn't shave today as my wife had other plans.

I mowed the front and back of the house, trimmed trees, pulled rail road ties as my wife didn't want planter boxes any longer, ripped up sod, got a quote to remove pine trees, and removed cement barriers. Then the rain started so still need to level the garden area.

Tough day and been there done that blister popping. These are Railroad Cross Ties though (I've worked with tons of them)......those looked like 2x4's and 6's. Someone needs a beer now !!

I didn't take a picture of the railroad ties I did dig up.. the thunder got pretty heavy. I'll grab one tomorrow. Those pieces of wood are the upper part of the planter boxes. The rail ties where the base. I put the beds in 4 years ago and she changed her mind. Ugh

We have had unusually excessive weed growth this year because of the rains. For the most part I’ve had my kids keep up on it but there is still more to do. My outdoor Honey-do’s have been more about waking up the pool, fixing the spa, fixing the sprinkler valves and timer and general post winter repairs. Today I swapped out ceiling fans in my room and swapped our daughters old fan for our old one. I started putting the fan blades together last night so today was pretty easy all things considered. My wife’s been recovering from surgery so I’ve been doing a little more cleaning lately too. Fortunately the back yard pool area was only a days work and it looks good now. I’ll need to fix drip and probably a sprinkler here and there but I’m thinking the yard work will be minimal this year.
