So we've been in the new house for a week or two now, but today was the first day that I really felt at home.Why?
Because it was my first attempt at lawncare and outdoor maintenance at the new place. Here's what I accomplished today:
- Bought a 26 foot ladder
- Cleaned out gutters (some 10 feet off the ground and some 22 feet off the ground...)
- Washed out gutters full of mud and sand mixture
- Attempted to clean out a gutter with a bird nest at one end (complete with mother dove and two or three babies underneath her)
- Unplugged 3 downspouts
- Attached gutter elbows (must have been removed by previous owner)
- Raked lawn (with help from Tammy)
- Mowed the lawn for the first time
- Swept all the lawn clippings off the driveway (we live in Granger now...)
- Attempted to fit a 26 foot ladder in an already full garage
- Had a nice long shower...
