While the weather has been so nice, we have worked outside a lot. RXC built a small wall behind the house which cleans up the property line nicely and gets a large rock pile out of the lawn. We are going to put gravel and pavers down between the back of the house and the wall which will make keeping out the weeds and vines much easier. I am contemplating seeding the wall with some alyssum. There is enough sun back there to make it grow and if I add a few flower pots on the wall we will get some nice color.
The lawn has needed mowing twice and that is without much rain!
We have spent much of the week looking for a new kitchen sink and tap. Our ideas about what we want in the house continues to evolve as we find out what is actually available "off the shelf" vs. the cost, aggravation, and wait for things that are custom. So after hours of looking on the web and visiting numerous home depot like stores we bought a sink. It is a compromise from what we wanted but it is in our possession and did not cost a fortune. RXC can install it himself in a couple of hours and we will have a bright, clean sink which is our objective. Next we will tackle the wall tiles and a select a granite (?) top for our island. That and a coat of paint completes the "fix up" of the kitchen.
