the emotional life of sølje

Guess what we will be working on tomorrow (Sunday)? Kev tore up half of the deck boards last Sunday, and so this Sunday we’ll be trying to get as much of that stump out, along with filling in holes that the dogs have dug over the past seven years. Hopefully next weekend we’ll be able to get some boards and lattice up, but I am not counting on it. I have a feeling this will be a month-long project. Which is ok.

I will be focusing on getting a retaining wall built, and fence up. We want to reclaim 22′ feet beyond our current fenceline that is our property. After the house behind us was built, we lost our privacy… we want it back! Plus, I am tired of our dogs barking everytime they see someone behind us. Up until about a year ago, all we had was greenery and trees behind us, so we chose chainlink. This time we are going for a nice wooden fence. Anyway, this will be done by someone I contract out! Kev has too many pots in the fire right now!

We also finished getting our windows installed Friday. I love them! We have a new slider too, and they all look so nice. Our old windows didn’t seem so bad until we started having new ones installed. All these projects finishing up make me look forward to getting the rest of the house done, especially my kitchen! And the other finished project this week was in getting a big spruce in our front yard taken down. So now we are getting closer to getting our front porch/roof, and new lawn in
