Coming Soon!

I have decided that I'm going to re-finish the countertops in the bathrooms.  I pondered this for many moons.

I've researched and thought I had the PERFECT idea.  Until I took a chance and Googled something.  I worked with a paint in the past...and by the past I mean over 15 years ago.  It was a cool paint, with a cool effect.  And then I wondered - with the correct sanding, priming and finishing...could I use this for countertops?


The answer, my friends, is yes!

Instructions and photos to come soon.

Back Yard Love..Summer Edition

It's hot.  I cannot even describe how hot and give the heat justice.  We have had heat indexes from 109 to 115 degrees daily for the past few weeks. I try to not go outside at all unless I just have to.

The landlord promised years ago to remove a tree who's roots have grown almost to half the yard and into the foundation. Needless to say, these roots have killed and injured our mowers. Besides that, the brick that is laid to the side of the patio is next to impossible to remove and re-lay. Roots have grown under those bricks and all I can really do is keep it all 'tidy'.

Leaves have overcome the yard from the same tree

the landlord said he would remove. 

Yes, 2 BBQ pits. 

The UNEVEN brick-ness drives me crazy.

There it is, yall. 

  

A few months ago this was so pretty.

Thanks to the heat it looks like this.

I'm surprised they're even still alive!

My Snow White Carpet and Butterfly 'garden' is dead.

Unless I want a $600 a month water bill, something

had to go. 

Ugh.

It takes a lot of time to get rid of the leaves

from that tree. Sweeping and hosing the

bricks to at least make them appear nice

There's one dead mower the tree killed.
