Had 16' of mulch delivered (haven't even scooped a single shovel of it yet), repainted our massive deck, installed a wall mounted hose holder, put in the heaviest concrete table and benches known to mankind, gave my sister in law a sofa, delivered it and moved her old one to the basement and the new one in and found a fantastic deal on a 6 piece outdoor dining set at home Depot and built it and put it out on the fresh painted deck.

I'm tired, boss.

Fair enough. Maybe it just felt massive after 2 solid days of non stop painting.

I built new garden beds at my in-laws house in Virginia. Currently trying to decide how I’m going to go get dirt in a Honda CRV LOL

I recently started a business. Went and gave a quote with 4 hours of my day Saturday morning. Spent 5 hours welding a chicken coup/ pig pen for another customer.

Yesterday, mowed my property for 3 hours, welded a gate for the chicken coup/pig pen customer, welded a bumper on a old F350 powerstroke, then helped a neighbor cut a bunch of cedar limbs on his property. After that, I went and purchased a pallet of concrete and some form boards and delivered it to the customer's house for today's job.

I'm spent after this weekend.

I did a little yard work, added 2nd hive box to two of the hives, and did day hikes Saturday and Sunday. It was a nice refreshing weekend.

Friday after work ran over to my farm to move my tractor that was brought back to my place after it was at the dealership for its 250 hour service.

Sat, I worked on my small garden at my house. It's a C shaped raised garden. Cleaned out a lot of grass that I sprayed a couple of weeks ago.

Y-day was planning on taking it easy after church and got a frantic call from our neighbor. She heard a loud pop and water started coming from everywhere in the attic. Ran over and shut the water off and then found the culprit. A t-valve on the tankless water heater failed. I think it was the clean out valve that was left in the on position and the pressure finally made it fail.

Helped them clean up the water and check everything after I got the water back on. That all took a few hours.

I never understood how they came up with how much mulch is for 1 yard. I guess they went with an average yard? Seems like that would change over time though.
