Kill me now friends! I still have yet to get the upper level bath finished for Week 17. It was too nice of a day to pass up doing the carport which was supposed to be Week 18 so I went ahead and did that first. So, with that said, Week 18 will now be the upper level bath, however, I am still one week behind! If I can get the bathroom finished by tonight, I will be right on track again....come on Dede, you got this girl!
The story behind the carport's current condition....
When we first moved in 15 years ago, they had fresh gravel brought in for the ground. This is where we store our tractor, lawn mowers, weed eaters, etc... and also, the kids' bikes, scooters and sport's balls bin. There are trees just outside that come the fall season, all of the leaves blow in. When the carport gets its cleaning, we rake out all of the leaves. So, this many years later of pulling out any and everything with wheels along with raking the leaves (along with some rock) has finally depleted the gravel....and now it is a muddy mess!!!! Gravel got delivered today and when we have a free day, everything will be removed from the carport and fresh rock put down. We did everything else though, down to throwing out 2 garbage bags of old sport's balls, a few bikes, a table and a push mower.
Here is how we did it...
__ Remove all items from the carport
__ Rake leaves from entire ground area.
__ Pick up any stray garbage that may have made its way in.
__ Rehang all tools; Weed Eaters, Leaf Blowers, Loppers, Hedge Trimmers, etc...
__ Hang bubble mowers and check condition of hockey sticks. Keep those still in good shape, toss any that are warped.
__ Empty out old bin, throwing away flat balls, old baseballs, etc...Toss old bin.
__ Bring in a new bin. Use bin for basketballs, soccer balls, frisbees, etc...Be sure to keep lid on.
__ Bring in a smaller bin for baseball bats and balls.
__ Remove all tools from holder.
__ Toss any rakes missing prongs or broken.
__ Add a plastic shoe box bin to hold weed eater string, etc...
__ Toss bikes that are in bad shape.
__ Line up bikes in an outward position to avoid tangles.
___ Throw out any cracked sleds.
__ Move bikes in need of fixing to the back.
You can see in the final photo what I mean about the ground. Gravel coming soon and I can't wait! Hoping to get that bathroom finished today and to put up another blog and then I will be right back on track. Lets see hands for those who think I do it....hmm....
See you soon!
