backyard: progress/20220606

  • Fence has been straightened and reinforced. Got to play with a chainsaw, the hallmark of any fun project. Will hopefully bring neighbor's passive-aggressive "are you thinking about repairing your fence" to a conclusion / FWIW my response: "are you thinking about telling your screaming children to shut the fuck up?"

  • Next task: fasten new posts to old fence.

  • ThistleWar has ended on one side of the yard. Needed to win to reach the fence to facilitate above completion. Did not find K's missing garden fork. Did find several of Kirby's absconded pots and ball remnants and a table and chairs.

  • Have to fix weedeater. (Update/202206061415: I have fixed the weedeater.)

  • New shed door in process of being produced. The critters that call the space under the floor home will not be pleased that they have to find a new entrance.

  • The lock on the gate remains rusted shut. Bolt cutters and/or dynamite might be needed to get the mower out to mow the front yard.

  • Butterfly bench disassembled and repainted and hung above window baskets to finally fill in that huge center spot on the house. Spray paint outlines remain in the yard.

  • Pond project: install UV algae fighter thing. Chainsaw again?
