Will be power washing mine with a surface cleaner tomorrow, concrete needs a solid degreasing in a few spots, plenty of cob webs and bug junk to knock down too. Will be washing my fiancee's truck and all three of my vehicles too while I have the pressure washer setup. Storms just blew threw here too so hopefully they brought some cooler temps.

Every single bush in my yard needs trimming


I'm about to have to do that at my mother's house since she just moved back onto the property. At this point I just want to spray everything with something that will kill it all




That is just the front yard. We haven't even gotten to the back yard. I honestly just need to find some of my gf's people and let them go to town on trees that don't have a chance of falling on something




A lot of spots have been leveled but I need to touch up a few places. Katrina brought in some vines that went wild and not much was done about it

I would sit on the porch and have a nice glass of bourbon with a big ice cube and say some choice words

I am hoping to fix this cold plunge... or get a resolution on it. water pump is significantly undersized for the tub.

Big project is swapping a pedestal sink out for a vanity in the powder bathroom. I've swapped various shower heads, faucets, etc. But never the whole sink vanity. Hopefully no issues.

Gotta get this spurge killed out of my driveway pavers too. I don't know if I'm crazy but feel like the builder maybe didn't put enough sand down during install.

Need to eventually give the pellet grill a burn and clean-off, but doubt i'll get to it this week.

Just finished updating both bathrooms. Had a weekend away without chores.

Now my daughter asks if I can build this kids armoire/jewelry cabinet/dress rack for the granddaughter. She says the granddaughter asked for it and wants it pink.

I'm kind of skeptical that a 2 1/2 yr old asked for this. But.... she knows I can't say no.

day 2
making a coonass expansion joint where the tree roots are crossing the path, so as the roots grow it will only push up the deck boards and not the 4x4s

My brother's wife wanted a pool. He put one in. They used it for a year and then just complained about what a mistake it was.

My back yard vegetable garden got weedy over the past month due to some rain that kept the ground wet and the weeds were happy. I hit the entire thing with the weedeater and cut damn near down to ground level.

Tomorrow I'll hit the area with weed killer to finish it off and that will allow me to turn over the soil and pull my rows to start planting in a week or so.

I have a lot of cardboard boxes I'll cut to place between the rows and can get lots of organic matter from the grass cutters at the local cemeteries to dump on top of the cardboard to hold it down and start the decomp process.

Once the weather gets consistently cooler, I have 2 new tires to put on my motorcycle that I have to break down, mount, balance and install them and a bit of maintenance work with oil, filter and some fluid changes.
