work on the house is going much slower than i expected or that i'd like. i've come to realize that my estimation abilities are not very good. from here on out, i should take into account that everything is going to take twice as long as i think...
luckily, we've had some good weather in seattle lately, so i've been able to do some work in the yard. i've knocked out the fence in the middle of the yard, and now you can really tell how big the lot is...
i removed the built-in bench on the deck - a great idea, but the whole thing's gotta go as a lot of the wood is rotting. it will be replaced with nice paver patio...eventually...
also, i tried my hand at pruning...but didn't do so great of a job. this bush now looks like the jabba the hut when he's being strangled by princess leia!
the puppies went bye-bye! (i saved one that i'm going to frame and hang in my bathroom as a homage to the house's history...)
this is how the seller patched up a hole that was in the drywall in the other bedroom. for crying out loud...how much putty did they shove in there!?
naturally, i had help...thanks jed and julia! you rock my casbah...literally! (jed, you didn't sign your wall!)
also, my parents, as always! : ) that's my dad...putting back a beam that i tore down. note to self...determine if it's load bearing before you take it out!!
