upcoming Spring projects
For the second morning in a row, I've come awake with a headache bad enough to make me doubt the advisability of having a head.
The spring projects are starting to gel. They include:
Is that it? I think so. I hope so. Anybody out there enjoy digging post holes? We could use the help.
* Is that the real number? According to city-data.com it is.
The spring projects are starting to gel. They include:
- A decorative fence at the south-east corner of the property, along which will be arranged our many, many peonies. This has to be done in the next few weeks. Any later and we can't move the peonies. Michelle called DigRite yesterday. I want it about half the length that Michelle does. We'll see how that goes.
- A garden/tool shed in the back yard, which, I hope, will be built for us. If not, I have a few ideas. I've always thought a backyard shed that looked like a train depot would be fun. Give it a nice 18-24" soffit with gingerbread at the corners and a schedule board on the wall. A little sign on the end that says "OSAGE ACRES - ELEVATION 1033 FEET". That'd be cute*.
- A new front porch, ASAP. Will we have to move the gas meter? I don't know. If we move the front door we will.
- A new wall by the garage to stop the slow erosion of the southwest corner...although if it erodes enough maybe that corner of the garage will sink, level the floor, and the garage will stop flooding every goddamn time it rains. Hmm...
- An arch-y-thingy to replace the walk-in gate to the backyard. What are those called...Oh! Yeah, arbor. That will hopefully tie in somehow to the new garage wall and not look weird. As if.
- A raised bed for the four-o'clocks.
- A raised and fenced bed for a vegetable garden. Not my idea, I like Del Monte.
Is that it? I think so. I hope so. Anybody out there enjoy digging post holes? We could use the help.
