Brrr,,,,,,,,,, The weather is changing

We have a wine and cheese party this Friday and it is in the park. I think we shall be very cold unless we are dressed warmly such as for a football game.

Mini Sewer Installation Fun

This was a quite a project! These three guys were so organized. They hardly seemed to talk to each other, all knew exactly what to do and they were hard working, efficient, and fun to watch. When I came dashing out with my camera, I'm sure they thought I was going to be a crabby old lady! I told them I just had to get a picture of their truck for my grandkids. (Actually, I think the picture was for me!) My dad used to drive an excavating truck but nothing like this monster truck! What a beauty and huge!
We set up lawn chairs and were amazed by the way different attachments were added to these machines for various aspects of the job, vacuuming, bulldozing dirt and gravel, a wire roller that cleaned soil from the sidewalks and grass, endless possibilities. They worked 13 hrs. with hardly a break. It was uplifting to know we have some who still believe in the work ethic!

The Gazebo Is Finished!

Meanards, Home Depot, Ace, Fleetfarm, you name the stores with the products for building and we were there for one thing or another.
The entire project seemed to grow in length as Tony folded screening, measured twice and cut once for what seemed like an endless number of trim boards. Thank God for Dewalt tools and power staplers, drills, nailers, you name it, he used it.I never realized that there would be so many details and so much time involved but the end product certainly is beautiful.Duke seems to think it is his new summer place.
