Mildly productive day today.

Spoke with the Utility District guys who were checking my water meter this morning (their company is also in charge of trash) to see if all of that debree i pulled out of the shed would be picked up by the BFI truck that follows the sanitation truck on Wednesdays. They seem to believe that they will (they have taken everything else i have put out there) take just about anything as long as it does not contain freon or some readily obvious toxin.

You may recall, this is what the outside of the shed looked like when i was done cleaning the inside ...



















after assembling the wheel barrow i purchased a few months ago to assist in the process, it looked like this ...

voila!












unfortunately, the alleyway next to the garage now looks like this ...
Let's hope they take it and save me from a trip to the dump. You can see some clutter in the garage ... those are painting supplies ... i can't wait until i am done with all the painting so i can clear out the middle section of the garage ... also, that is the rear end of my impala sticking out ... i haven't been driving it much at all lately ... but when i do drive it i try to make up for lost time by haulin' total ass.






once i was done with the clean up and had consumed several bottles of water (for rehydration purposes), i moved out to the front yard to put down some mulch bed liner along both sides of the sidewalk ...

i held it down to the ground using a jar full of some rusty 2 inch nails i found in the shed (that's thrifty!) ... i rolled it out on the right side "nailing" it down on both sides of the area that had been cleared for the yard then i cut along the outside edge with scissors ... this worked out well, because the roll was twice the width of the beds so i used the other half of the matting on the left side ... just had to nail it in.

Also note, the yard was mowed today ... it was getting a little bit thick.









i'm probably going to write out an interior and exterior (i know, you haven't seen the interior yet ... it is only about 40% done) "to do" list. i'll post it up later tonight if i get a chance (assuming i actually do it).
