A Little More Yardwork and Bathroom Update
A Little More Yardwork and Bathroom Update
As if 322 bags wasnt enough, we bought 30 more bags of mulch for our mountain cottage.
Compared to 322 bags, 30 was a piece of cake!
Let me back up a bit...
All along the side of the cottage were these horrible, prickly Holly bushes that while tidy looking, hung over the sidewalk about a foot. Both Mr. DIY and I had run ins with these bushes, especially when we were using the hose. Blood was spilled on a couple of occasions.
Every time we walked by the bushes, wed mutter under our breath how we hated those bushes and how someday we were going to cut them down.
Well, that day was last weekend. We couldnt stand it anymore, so Mr. DIY got out his chain saw and cut them all down.
Every. Single. One.
On one of our trips to Lowes we purchased the 30 bags of mulch to cover the ground.(Used up a bunch of bags on our fruit trees)
It was so much better than the prickly holly shrubs along the walkway!
On a second trip to Lowes, I found these beauties and couldnt resist. (I know I have a problem)
They sat on the porch for a couple of days before I planted them.
There, all planted.
I know it doesnt look like much, but as the saying goes...Rome wasnt built in a day.
Neither was my garden at home.
If you missed my last post, you can read about how our backyard garden evolved over the last decade HERE.
I plan to add some easy, drought and deer resistant perennials to fill up the space.
Eventually.
No more gardening for awhile(I hope).
Cant promise anything.
We need to get back to finishing the upstairs bathroom, which by the way, has a functioning toilet!
Yay!
Heres what were working on this weekend..I need to stain the wood countertop so Mr. DIY can install the undermount sink and the faucet.
Oh, and install the faux plank wall
and finish the custom medicine cabinet
and install the light over the sink
and finish the storage shelves and the closet in the bedroom.
We plan to build a wood apron under the countertop and then I plan to attach a fabric skirt to the apron.
Cant wait.
When we get all of this finished we can start on the kitchen.
Hope youre having a great weekend.
