Progress and Now to Enjoy

      The fence got put in yesterday! I was called on the way to work, a very confusing call. I was surprised because they just had sent an email that the window was up to four weeks and they don't pre-schedule. She had two files in front of her and wrong Post-It notes on mine saying I needed a call first because of problematic neighbors. No, not my note. I had her double check the address, and sure enough, not my house. She apologized and said she'd call back. When she did, she still confirmed fence was ready to be installed. 

     My son was doing a project from home so I let him know. It took about 6 hours total from his report and he and pup took advantage in the late afternoon. My son had made a makeshift desk area with a couple old chairs. Today he'll get the patio hosed off and furniture out. He'll mow the front and side yard too. I'm swamped for work, but might take a meeting out there. One of the benefits I'm looking forward to in nice weather is an outside office from time to time. I worked from the porch often, but the dogs barked at every neighbor leaving, car passing, or mail or package being delivered. 

     I'll wait until stair railing is done before a better picture tour. Also, major landscaping is needed after the years of overgrowth, loss of grass, bare patches from the deck, then trees cut back. I'll work with what I have this summer. Here's just a little glimpse of before and after. I still need to get the Wet and Forget on the neighbors fence section. 

Same back corner as before shot. Look, no
park Porto potty in my view any longer.

Opposite corner. So many bare spots!
