Moving all the Bricks . . . A Long Hot Day! (part 2)

WOW! Those bricks were very heavy to move.  And I am still moving them here and there for the landscaping around the back yard.
This very cheep 29 dollar cart has been incredible or this task! It's very beat up but still going strong!

Here is the cooling spot:
Shade, 
Lots of Water
& a Very  Strong Fan.

Intex Above Ground Pool Start - Removing the Blocks!

One day I saw a pool on sale at Target.  
     A 16 foot round pool at 48 inches deep.  
          The box said "Ready for Swimming in Two Hours". 
                 Easy Right?

Here is the first video of the Pool Adventure.
                        I started this Project in June of 2012!

Dear Hurricane X,

These kind of things never happen when you're prepared . . . right?


Four AA battery operated TV!                 
 You can’t recharge if you have no electric.







Four D battery operated fan!
No electric  . . . no A/C.


Four D battery operated Lantern! 
Can’t find the Kitties in the dark.


And many cans of easy food. 
  
I have an old fashioned Swing-A-Way can opener, and a plethora of batteries at the ready!! 

Please stay away, Ruth

Just a Little Elbow Grease


                

I grew up surrounded by brick. And I think it should show! When I bought my little house the brick stoop was . . . painted!!  So the chore of the month is to uncover the beauty of the brick! 


stoop  (stLp)
n. Chiefly Northeastern U.S.
A small porch, platform, or staircase leading to the entrance of a house or building.
[Dutch stoep, front verandah, from Middle Dutch.]
Regional Note: Originally brought to the Hudson Valley of New York by settlers from the Netherlands, a few items of Dutch vocabulary have survived there from colonial times until the present. Stoop, "a small porch," comes from Dutch stoep; this word is now in general use in the Northeast and is probably spreading.
