2025 Summer Projects

[todeen]

What's everyone working on for projects besides baseball cards? I'm a teacher, so I try to keep myself occupied in the summer when I'm not daddy daycare. The yard projects around my house occupy a LOT of my time. The yard was neglected by the previous owner. In 2024, I built a new fence and a gate; cut down 10 trees; added shelving to the storage sheds; and made ideas for additional projects. This summer, I am taking out a broken water feature, re-seeding grass in the front yard and back yard, adding a decorative fence along the front yard, added a gate on the other side of the house, and built a deck for my in-laws. The dump runin my Subaru made me feel like the Beverley Hillbillies (1180lbs). I had a plan to expand the driveway (it's very narrow), but that looks like it'll be a 2026 project. And I decided to make a Halloween quilt with my mother. We've been asking her to come on vacation with us and she has declined. So it's just a way to spend some time with her. I think it'll take three years to complete set the pace we're moving.

The big mound of dirt was where the water feature was. I need to spread it out even and seed it for grass.

Originally, with the decorative fence, there were 5 pine trees that ran along the road. It prevented all sunlight from entering our yard and was killing the grass.
