This summer we have undertaken outdoor rehab as well as indoor. Of course I cant remember the last time I was able to continue a project in the house. I hired a landscape designer from our favorite nursery and he drew up an awesome plan for the front of the house. He even put it in stages so we could do it as we had time. I am starting to understand the construction industry though, no matter what the deadline was for something we always fell short. We used a sod cutter and transplanted sod to bare spots in the back and then Bryce turned the soil by hand. He was outside until midnight for several nights. Kansas clay really locks up the soil. Then he tilled and turned again. My "landscaping boyfriend" as Bryce likes to call him, came by and the plants werent even in yet! I got them in that day though. It is ongoing work and we still have several bushes to go in this weekend but It is so nice to have something out there.
As for Bryce on the Ladder, Well he has helped dad cut down the enourmous tree. That ladder has been up against that tree for what seems like an eternity. But....sigh...sigh...we are almost done.
It will be that much better when the rotting Maple is all the way down. That is another one of Bryces Suicidal late night projects. The neighbors think he is nuts. Should you decide to fix up a house you may want to see our blog from time to time to examine your sanity first. The outcome will be fabulous in 2020!!!
