"Potpourri"
This is a story of two little boys
messing with a woodpile rumored to have skunks under it....lol.....
They had to get
the tarps off of it...first one....
then the
second one.....
and while they
never saw anything black and white...
they were
still verrrrrrrrrrrrrry cautious....lol
They decided
that there was nothing under the woodpile, but best you not mess with it, lest
you be stinky for weeks!! lol
This was one
evening when we had finally moved in and Michael had the garage as cleaned up as he
could get it for the moment....;-)
This was our
first dumpster...we'll have to have another one, but this one held quite alot of all
the remnants removed from the house.
This was the
night we finally got our first washer and dryer since we have been
together....it was a momentous occasion!!
We bought them used from a guy who sells trade-ins as a hobby...he assured us
that they were in top running condition. We got them plumbed and wired 3
days later and ran the first load and the washer leaked so bad that Michael
thought there was something wrong with the plumbing because water was pouring
from the floor joists.....lololol
We called the guy and he came over the very next day and repaired it....it was just
out of balance from traveling and they both work great now!!
Here's an unfinished story....when
we first moved in, the space between the garage and the house looked like
this.....
This "bush, tree, shrub or whatever
it is/was had grown into the garage and taken over...Michael chopped it down once
and then about two weeks later, Bruce and Michael chopped it to the ground
again....and of course it came back again.....SO, I checked the Farmer's Almanac
online and found that the perfect date for pruning to stunt growth was on the
night of August 11th....so here he goes again...he poured weed killer on it when
he was done chopping it down this time.
In this shot you see all the other junk he drug out of the garage in the big clean up...
thank goodness the garbage man comes on Thursday....lol
Only time will tell, but we sure hope it doesn't come back again...lol
We bought this from a guy I work with and will be moving it into the house in about 2 weeks!
Beautiful!
We had a little visitor one night after cooking out....he was just looking
for an old leftover hamburger and all he got were Bruce's empty beer cans...lol
