Well it's going to be a long busy & exspensive weekend for me. I plan on installing a new screen door and entry door in my back entrance. That'll run about $500 total I think. Have to pick up my lawnmower also from the shop. Had a tune up, blade sharpened, and new hole drilled & tapped for it as it sheared off late fall 2006. Also if it's fairly warm I need to treat my front deck & staing it also. Then I have some garden work to start also. Need to remove the old mulch relacing it with new. Need to weed out the front Lily bed. Have to trim a lot of the dead branches from my rasberry bushes. Just a lot of things. My daughter & her fiancee will be here so I'll have lots iof help. Just bored right now & thought I'd relate this as I may not be on this weekend as much as usual. Hahaha. usual on the weekend is all day and all night. LOL. So take care all. HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB!!~

Sounds like you and I are on the same track! I just had the house power washed about 3 weeks ago, and am now restaining the back deck and porch while they are "clean". I will have to repaint some of the trim that peeled off during the power wash. Since we got a pretty good tax refund, I just replaced our sliding glass doors with French doors with blinds inside the windows, so I don't have to clean them. We just got the riding mower repaired, getting ready for the grass growing season...it never ends when you own a house, does it?

The wife and I rented up till 4 years ago when we finally bought our first house. I was so excited. Then after a few months I hated being a home owner. Hahahaha. I'll be here on and off. Just won't be posting. I'll try to respond some though. Thanks for the response also. HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

Well, you have a busy weekend with lots of useful projects. Good that you have your daughter & fianca to help. My weekend will be just as busy, & I doubt whether I can do any My Lot. Saturday: Bianca's birthday party. I have to ice & decorate the b'd cake, make a fruit platter, do the washing, etc. Then I take three of the party girls iceskating (3hrs). After that, I prepare the pizzas and other food. One girl stays all night. Sunday:d leaves, we have to leave to go my brother inlaws place for a bbq, supposedly for my husbands birthday. This is a two hour round trip. When I get home I better iron some clothes for hubby & daughter.

When your done, want to come here and install 2 screen doors? lol j/k Grandpa Bob. It's going to be busy here as well. Hoping to get the culvert at end of drive blocked up at both ends so no more gravel from drive washes into the ditch. HAVE to get my garden done and ready for planting. It's on a slope so we have to build up 3 of the sides with railroad ties and stake them in place, then spread the mound of soil that's in it left over from the pool last summer. After those 2 chores, not sure what else we will get done. Don't wear yourself out too much, Grandpa Bob. We don't want you getting sick on us now. lol

Wow! So much for spending the weekend to relax huh? LOL! The only thing that is worse then a busy weekend is one that cost alot. Friday night, we went camping. That should've been fun. But it stormed really bad all night long. So instead of fishing in the creek, we had to stay in the tent most of the night. But then Saturday, we stayed later then we had planned & fished most of the day. Came back home & went mushroom hunting. (Bet you have no idea what that is) Then my sister & her boyfriend came over to eat super. As i was in the middle of cookin, in came 12 more friends. I told them that I didnt have enough food to feed them all so we decided to go to McDonalds to eat. Now tommorow, I will be planting some plants. Yeah, my mom is so excited that I planted the rose that she got me she went out & bought me alot of plants. Now I have to find some were to plant them. And of course, tommorow night I have to clean my house. Ugg, I dread it. My weekend was suppose to be lots of fun but instead, it turned out kind of dull.

Wow!! Sure sounds like you have your work cut out for you. I don't have much on the go, this weekend, but I'm going to try and make some money by writing. I filed my tax refund papers today (that is to say I signed them and faxed them back to my accountant, I already know what I'm getting) and that's about it. Now just to sit and write all weekend. ;-)

well, good luck with your projects. i hope the weather is nice for you. I've got kind of a busy weekend too. We are doing our Easter get together with my boyfriends family on Saturday. His dad is having major surgery the following Thursday so I'm sure we will be spending easter at the hospital. Then on Sunday, my boyfriend will be finishing ripping out a closet and making a entertainment shelf as we are getting a much bigger tv and needed the extra room. I don't have to do anything but listen to him complain and that right there is a lot of work.lol.

Hi, grandpa. So you are going to be busy this weekend, right? Sounds you are a little worried about it. But if I were you, I will enjoy it. It will make your house and garden more beautiful, won't it? I am looking forward to the day I have my own house or at least apartment and I will do anything happily to make it brilliant. It is our home.
