Concrete



This is a picture of our front yard from last week!
They removed 100,000 pounds of concrete from our yard!

The man that built our house had unlimited amounts of concrete (or so we guess) and he built everything very sturdy. We torn down the cinder block fences in the front, removed the wishing well and extinct water feature in the back, a very large dog run and an uneven cement patio (if you can call it a patio!)

We are very happy with it all gone, but now we are trying to deal with our torn up yard!
We have been working on sprinklers, as I mentioned before, and still need to finish the painting.

Every night I turn on the sprinklers, one zone at a time, with my manual key/pole/rod.
It takes me about 1 and 1/2 hours to go through all the zones.
Last night I was laughing to myself because I'm sure Rich and Randi were in the basement thinking... why does she keep going outside!
Finally at 1045 I went outside to turn off the water to the swamp cooler.
So if you are wondering what I'm up to these beautiful summer evenings,
I'm attending to waters of the house!
