Bathroom break-in

 

We have an integrated laundry drawer in the bathroom:

 

Unfortunately, after Mechel left the bathroom and closed the bathroom door, the drawer slid open, which blocked the bathroom door.  We couldn’t get in to the bathroom!

Thankfully, there’s a coat closet that shares a wall with the bathroom wall:

Adding a bit on to the deck

To ease entry into the pool, I added a bit on to one of the landings:

Just like that!

Garden sittin’ and plantin’

 

Garden Work

I brought home 1 yard of compost, and we spread it out in the garden with the Belsky children and tilled it in.

 

 

 

Sunday Yard Work

Today I trimmed the mass o’ trees in the backyard such that the trunks are visible. Before, the trunks were surrounded by a ten-foot radius of vegetative mess. Now, it looks like this:

Today we had some pretty nasty weather, but last Sunday was nice and I took another ride to Stony Point. [...]

Today I finished [...]
