We need to repair the decorative fence in front of the house and are trying to decide if we a) replace it with vinyl or b) get two new wood fenceposts which will need to be painted and sunk.
Yesterday, we mowed the lawn, which was way overgrown. I was worried about over-cutting, but it seems to be greening up, in both the front and the back. It’s been hot and humid and generally unpleasant to work outside. I just stuck a load of laundry in the washer that included some items so soaked with sweat that they could have walked downstairs by themselves!
We worked today on the balustrade and completed two panels and the back stairs. Hope to finish the remaining panels this week before the weather gets too cold. It’s been very difficult to schedule because of the amount of humidity we’ve had recently. I’ve been pushing to get it done, putting off other Fall chores which could be completed regardless of weather.
I realized earlier this week that the front garden was a mess, full of weeds and disgusting-looking fungi. I’ve dug out almost all of it and have been trying to edge the garden, about 40 feet. The best tool is a square shovel that our landscaper neighbor let us borrow.
I hope to get a load of black mulch tomorrow to finish that job.
