Working Weekend

Wednesday, May 09, 2007

It was a busy and beautiful weekend here in Guilford. It started on Saturday morning with the Sachems Head Yacht Club work party to get the boats outside and boards off the windows. We are officially on the countdown to the club opening on June 16th. Then, it was back to Podunk to get down and dirty. We are in the process of ripping up our old patio/deck (thanks Bing and Robert for your help) to make way for a new flagstone terrace with stonewall and lots of new plants and trees!! It is the first project where we are not going to try to "do it yourself" so we are really excited about the end result- we will keep you posted on the progress. Harcourt is also working on stripping and painting the house this summer- oh the joys of owning This Old House, circa 1850 :-)

Bye bye deck!
Nilla was a good supervisor
Demolition is almost complete

I grew up on my Dad's John Deere so it is only fitting that Ike

helped with the first mowing of the summer.

Ike's best friend is his reflection in the mirror!
