The Deck


I moved into my home
25 years ago.

There have been things I wanted
to do but something always
came before them.

So.....to be able to enjoy the outside
without being eaten alive
by blood suckers
(misquotes)
and to be able to spend some
relaxing time of my retirement
I decided that I needed to
FINALLY
have my deck roofed and screened in.

And the work begins.


 

Framing going up.


Ready for the tin roof.



I am so EXCITED.
Being an artist...I can see me
out there painting.

A few months ago I planned on
painting this
area.

It is the wall that separates my neighbors deck
and mine
(I live in a zero lot line home).

This is the sort of pattern
I was going to go with.


Oops....looks like I can't
do that now!
But that is okay,
there is a section of my house
that will be under the roof of
my deck...
I see a bigger paint job
in my future!

Thanks for stopping in,

The Rest of Today

Image
After my trip to town today,  visit with the doc, stopping  and picking up breakfast I  headed home.  I had dropped Dakota off at mom's for the day. He was going  to spend the day  playing with Klohe and Cheyenne. While he was hanging at mom's Lily and I chilled all day.  So much to do but I can't seem to get it in gear. Later....I had an apt for a hair cut. But I left out early to stop  at the  Mystic Heart. I picked up some healing stones there.  Entering the store I read this sign... haha Then while in there I saw this sign. From there I headed to see  Kelley, my hair stylist. This is what I was shooting for. Course, it will look different on  me due to hair color and  texture of hair.  I am good with it. I got to Heads Up a bit early  so Kelley still had a young boy she was working on and his dad after him. I had to snap a pic of Kelley making sure that I got

Hot Water Heater Mishaps

Image
 As I stated the hot water heater sprung a leak, from the bottom.  My younger brother came to help  with the issue. Problem, the  value at the bottom where you screw in  the hose to drain the tank, was  all clogged up.  It sets so close to the bottom  that it is hard to slip a  bucket under to catch water if we were to get the clog undone. There was no moving it till water was drained off the tank. We opened the top value, and leaned it over to drain into buckets. I have a great big  plastic tub, like this one. We filled it by leaning the  hot water heater over. Finally got enough off to be able to slid onto the two wheeler  and move out of the garage. Once we had it there,  we lowered it to the ground and let it finish with the drain. Mark went to Lowes and got another one, installed it and  had me up and running. The damage had been done though. With the unit on the  other side of the BR, water came under the wall and flooded the BR,  and the carpet in the den.  Yes, the same two roo
