Project Day Part 2
August 31, 2015 by Adam in Adam
Sunday was a slightly subdued version of Saturday, accomplishing all manner of tasks while Joanna and the kids were away. First off I had a nice visit with my mom at the Glenwood, stocking up on pancakes for the day's efforts.
Laundry was a steady constant, taking care of things that were rarely washed such as Sam's comforter and clothes stuffed at the bottom of his piles. I spent much of the morning cleaning his room and putting things away, something I do on an annual basis when I can't stand it anymore. You can actually sit on the nice couch that Yayoe kindly gave us - all the piles of clothes are now put away or hanging up.
 After lunch I headed outside to clean the back porch and spray paint the railings. There was compost to toss, containers to tidy up, and miscellaneous junk to toss. Eventually I got to power washing the patio, though I eventually stopped when the downpour hit.
I retreated inside to fold clothes and watch 1920's Australian Lady Detective shows on Netflix, along with drinking a little too much cider and munching on nachos.
Today I'm off to work, though likely getting to more cleaning tasks tonight. I need to sweep and tidy our guest room before our French intern arrives. And there's always more laundry.

Project Day
August 30, 2015 by Adam in Adam
 It's been a long day and I'm absolutely beat. I took Joanna to the airport, waking up at 4:30. She's been giving me updates as she flies across the country and I've been sending her pictures of my assorted efforts.
Today is one of those rare days with no one in the house, and I started in on my absolutely massive list of projects. Mostly I did just one - cleaning up the front yard. I pruned and dug up sod and put up the new trellis. It was exhausting work and I spent hours doing it. Eventually I stopped to go to the grocery store and pick up more bark o mulch. It all looks pretty good now.
As for tomorrow, I'm having breakfast with mom and then working away at the rest of the things on my list. I suspect it'll rain, so my outside painting projects will have to wait until next time.
