We're going on close to a month of this adventure. Almost one full month of no backyard and our house being cased in a fine layer of dirt/dust from the backyard. Seriously though - I could have filled my garden bed with the amount of dirt I've swept/mopped up in the last four weeks.
This has quickly evolved into the biggest, most expensive, most time consuming project we have taken on since we moved into this house....and I want it DONE. (Pretty sure so does the man-friend)
We're nearing the home stretch....well not really...I can see the finish line but we're still miles from it. Kind of like we're stuck in the middle of a desert and there is an oasis glimmering on the horizon. It's there BUT SO FAR AWAY!
The backyard has become the bottomless pit of time and exhaustion (mostly on Vern's end). The poor guy hasn't really gotten a break since we started this. On one level it's his own fault. He's the one who keeps adding things like electricity and irrigation. But... on the other hand, I can hear him in my head saying "If you're going to do something do it right." And to think...I thought we were just going to build a box. HA!
Last week he finished installing the outdoor conduit for electrical and the sprinkler system for the main portion of grass.
