September 9-15, 2012 - Been a bit since I last posted but both Donna and I have been busy with not just the house but with day to day activities like work and work and some more work...THEN some work on the house!  Life is good though and we have nothing to complain about.

This past Monday, I took a day off of work and rented a rear-tine rototiller so we could prepare the yard for planting grass.  Got started at 9AM and was really getting beat up with the hard ground.  By 1:30PM or so I only had just over 1/2 of the front yard tilled!  A guy stopped by and offered to bid the job.  Just after he gave us the bid ANOTHER guy came by and wanted to bid it as well.  Needless to say it didn't take Donna and I too long to figure out it would be better to have a professional do the job.  It will take them one day to do the entire yard and that includes using a power rake to pick up all the rocks and leftover cement!  Money well spent and it was actually cheaper than we thought it would be.

The wood floors are done and look outstanding!  We are very pleased with the final result.

This is what I completed after about 4+ hours or hard work.
