Busy Weekend
Did anyone else (in America, anyway) take advantage of the long weekend to get some much needed tasks done?
I, for one, got a shitload done. I mowed the lawn. I also got about 70% of our new bathroom set up (the drain is set and the tub is installed. Next on the plate is water seal, crete-board and tiles)
And, during the wonderful torrential rainstorm on sunday, we managed to put up almost 200' of stockade fence.
Some words to the wise:
Even if it says it's a 1 man power-auger, use 2 people... When they hit roots and rocks, they tend to get away from you, and that leads to some pretty painful shoulder and knee injuries. Also, occasionally let someone else lug around teh 60 lb bags of concrete. i think i have pulled every muscle in my arms and hands.
If you have to hand dig anything, WEAR GLOVES. I managed to cut the skin under every fingernail on my hands.
Anyway, we also manage to plant a japanese maple, 2 hydrangea, 2 oriental lillies, and a rose.
And i found 6 gigantic 4 leaf clovers in under a minute.
How was everyone else's weekend?
