Good afternoon, CB.
How is the unpacking going?
My 2 neighbor friends who abandoned me a couple of years ago were up from the hot big cities of Tucson and Phoenix for a few days.
We had such a fun time catching up on everything.
Yesterday we had to remove all the outdoor furniture, rain gutters, and the trellis from around bottom from both porches and hose off for the painters, who were here bright and early at 6:30 this morning, to stain both of them.
Hubby has to be careful to not over do, the only reason we called in the painters, but I think it is killing him to not do it himself.
Now if I can only talk him into getting someone else to do all the raking of the back yard, which he has already started.
Already did the front yard and it made him ill, had a relapse and had to call the Gastroenterologist, who told him to slow down, which is something I couldn’t get him to do.
We have almost an acre here and that is just too many pine needles and oak leaves to rake up and haul off when you are not well.
I’m glad your hubby’s doctor was able to get him to slow down. Did your husband supervise the painting or was he able to just stay away and do something else?
I’m sure my husband would be the same way. He likes doing everything himself, to save money and to make sure it is done right. Right now his new hobby is stuff he can do with his new tractor. He was going to hire someone to cut into the Hillside and build a new pad. But now he’s doing it himself. He was also going to hire someone to rip up the concrete around the pool, but with the new tractor he can do that. He’s as excited as a little kid! Of course the Tractor cost much more than we would pay people to do those few things. But there might be another few things through the years that it will be useful for.
I’m glad you had fun with your former neighbors. I bet when they went up to the coolness they regretted not living there.
