Rocks, a Planter and a Door????????






Well, since the last time I blogged (is that a real word?????) I am sure you have all been curious about what is going on. Well, even if you aren't I am going to tell you.

I have been busy, as you know I finished the big job and then Monday, that would be Aug. 24 just so you know which Monday......... I had a small job which took about 3 hours and then I took the rest of the day of. You can do that when you are the boss and the only employee......................... so anyway I took the day off and then I started on the planter yesterday which would have been Tuesday and finished it today.

This planter was nothing like the other planter as this one had a decorative cinder block border, ground cover and a river rock filler.

So I laid it out, put in the border, and filled it in with rock, but also planted plants as I went. Now I know that this is about as exciting reading as watching someone unload a Sears truck or watching paint dry, so as a bonus I will include for edification and reading pleasure another past life story. Now aren't you excited !!!!!!!!!!

The other part of this story is that I also replaced a front door on the place where I am staying (but I did that before the planter) to make the place a little more weather proof for the coming winter. Unfortunately the door frames was not straight so that meant that the door would not be straight. The previous door was a hollow core with a hole in it which actually during the winter time made the whole door freeze!!!!!!! Well, again with a lot of acid reflux, heartburn, and speaking in several languages and finally climbing to the top of Mt. Ignorance, I finally got the door hung and swing correctly after which some VERY MINOR REPAIRS were required to put certain parts of the structure back together again!!!!!!!!!!! but that is another story.........

And so I am off to Vancouver for a small job and then I will be starting to head south to see what I can do about anything along the way?????????? and continue my search for messages from the bottle which by the way I have managed to locate two more bottles!!!!!! and continue to look for the meaning of life?????
