That's a darn good craptastic job you did there!

I take that as the highest praise from an expert!

Wisp soaking up some rays.

My inner OCD is not happy with the green post at an angle. Will see if I can redo it, as there were lots of roots making it difficult to drive it down securely.

Better light for taking photos

This is waaay in the back, almost to the west side of the property.

I don't see any gaps in the fence behind it, but will probably just let it be, as it's been in place more than 20 years. I might plant a few perennials in front to hide it.

Reorganized the small shed today, looking for the privacy fence.

Before (trimmer already removed)

After

Yes, I found the fencing. And now I can find my chicken stuff, and pond stuff, and gardening stuff, and the tarps. And the tools I use most for building/fixing.

Still need to sort a little more, ran out of daylight.

The sewing machine cabinet on the left will be going inside the house once the rest of Ron's "stuff" is removed from the spare bedroom. It's an ongoing project.

DS wants to keep his father's desk, but there's no room in his bedroom. It takes up less space on its side.

Dump run tomorrow!

Looks great. Getting a space organized is always such a good feeling. We made several dump and donation runs this last year, that's a good feeling too...lol

Wish I was closer, could use some of those chock full of nuts and Folgers containers and lids for nuts and screws at the farm....
No one here drinks coffee....

I don't share much about DD and her family, she's a private person. In short, they're trying to escape from Chicago. Tonight she told me that they're looking at relocating to the Hendersonville TN area. DSIL has been working on a transfer to greater Nashville.

Oh...it's very doable!!!

I can put a couple aside for you.

Much closer... that would be so awesome for you and them. I wouldn't want to live in Chicago either. I hope it works out for them.

Maybe save me a couple/few for the spring poultry swap??? PLEASE.... they hold up better than using small cardboard boxes for things like the electric fence insulators or carrying smaller amounts of fence staples and clips for the Tposts and such....

The shed looks real good...
