updates - productive weekend

This past weekend we had some great weather and was able to be very productive. Starting out by starting my new part time job mowing greens at Blissfull meadows Golf Club, right down the street.

After that on Saturday, Amanda and I Picked up the guest room bed at her parents, managing to stop by a few yard sales on the way, (nothing good).

I got alot done in the yard, prepped the garden by the front fence to plant flowers, planted some seeds (we'll see if they grow). I also finished fixing up my mower.

I have to say, Ikea is a great store, there stuff is inexpensive and nice. But one thing about there stuff, they DO NOT make it easy to put together. We bought a nice queen size bed for the guest room at a good price. Brought it in the house and began putting it together. they make it sooo difficult and borderline impossible to get some of the screws in. I ended up deviating from the directions a bit since it was so frustratingly difficult. In the end, the changes I made were probably for the better and most likely made the bed stronger.

SUNDAY

Sunday began much like Saturday....mowing grass at the golf course.

After work we headed out for a couple yard sales, one of which I found a small wooden replica of a kayak, alost exactly liek the one I built and used to propose to Amanda, I got it for $2 ....What a Steal!!!!

Amanda headed off to see her girls for a coffee in worcester and I did some work at the house.

I took a trip to Home Depot - mind you if i realized lowes was about the same distance away, I would have gone there. I like lowes much better.

I got some wood to rebuild the stairs at the playset/swingset. the existing stairs were not the safest and did not want anyone's children getting hurt. I took down the old ones and used them as a guide and rebuilt some new ones.

I was about to paint the playset, when I noticed the paint was nowhere to be seen. I quickly realized I had left the paint in the cart in the parking lot of home depot........OOPS!!! I called back and they said they would remix a can for me! (Amanda went and did that today, thats a whole different story you can ask her about) So instead I started painting the white trim and will soon paint the rest of it now that i have more paint. It really will look alot nicer and safer, when I am done.

This evening we completed a most important task, unpacking the LAST BOX!!!! I has been about a month and a half and finally can say we are all unpacked!! It feels great!

Thats all for now, oh yea GO SOX!!.....GO BRUINS!!.....GO CELTICS!! ITs a great time to be a Boston Fan!!!!!!
