Spring fever's been keeping me picking away at the 'to_do & 'want_to' list... hope you've enjoyed the peace & quiet
Started out 'inside', after some tips from our 'Dave Hawksford' on changing some of our trim color....turned out darker than we planned due to my fault during stain mixing, but we're definitely happy with the outcome.
before......................after
Then the outdoor stuff started... first biz was cleaning up after a strong wind knocked over part of our firewood stash and took out a few sections of fencing...sorry no after pix but it's all good now.
Then it was tool time...picked up a maintenance abused mini-tiller for $25.00 off of Craigslist. Rebuilt the carb and cleaned/lubed the trans, new filter & plug and away she went at the working up the garden and flower beds....tough little bugger, I'll say!
Also dug out the 19 year old mower my M.I.L. used up until she passed, and gave it thorough going over, even waxed it...don't know why as we have a 4 yr old 6hp that's been a beaut, but she looks purdy in the shed
More to come....Please hold your comments for a few moments{maybe more, as I type as fast as I work...aka>sloooow}, it will save you from having to post laughter or head-shaking more than once
