both the lot and me.. I have spent the last couple of mornings over at the lot and it has helped. I can hear the birds and the leaves and that helps. Worries about the barking dogs is better- does not seem to be as many as I feared. The traffic noise is about the same and actually there is less road traffic on that street. I used the magnet to pick up some nails while Larry and Bobby finished siding the shed and picking up. Bobby did have to make a quick run to the base- he stepped on a nail and said he did not think he had ever had a tetanus shot, so we sent him to get one.
This morning Larry took the chainsaw over and trimmed trees much to my horror- he always cuts more than I want. Sometimes I just tell him I will walk away so I don’t have to watch.
While he did that I painted a one end of the shed inside with Kilz- someone had a dog penned up in that end and it smells like dog piss – so we thought some kilz would help the smell and make the shed a little lighter inside. It helped a lot.
Then this afternoon Rodriquez called and was ready to pull posts- so while I rested Larry went over in the 100 degree heat and chained the posts and pulled them. He will knock the concrete off and reuse what he can on the south fence.
We did come to one major decision today- the trees will just not survive a move now in this heat. Larry also does not want the concrete to crack a lot so we have put off starting the house till the 1st couple weeks in September. It will be cooler and we have nothing pushing us to do this ASAP. This puts us listing the house after the new year, not a great time but it will work and if we had to move twice and move into a rental it would cost us about 5-6k- so staying here is fine. I only want to move one more time- besides this gives me more time to sort and shitcan. Still not sure what all I have to get rid of -but I know its a bunch.
Will post more pics tomorrow.
