House projects

this is the before photo. this pile of weeds is going to turn into a basement window well , next Friday, on Friday you can watch this space for more photos I hope. this will make my downstairs room into a bedroom, a window with legal exit.
What i have been working on in the last month is painting the garage: sanded the walls, mudded them and sanded again, fixed a couple of holes. and painted 2 coats of primer, to cover all the crap ( its a garage that 20 year old) and then my favorite color antique white on the walls.
as of today when this was taken, all I have left is one coat of antique white to go on the ceiling, maybe Friday , maybe one day during the week, subject to energy levels, and work.
here is the window that is to go in, and all junk that floats around.
Well then you will appreciate all the" after" photos when it all clean. Yes the shelf is heavy and i need to get someone else to help move it.


and other useless info . for a snack just now i have had freshly stewed rhubarb, with splendor. oh it s good. Next time i will try adding some wild raspberries, that are ready to eat.

I wish I would have known that you needed something moved. I would have had the boys do it. We only had 7 people over to your house Saturday afternoon. Thanks for letting me store all that stuff! We have almost all of the "big stuff" out. Now it is just the little boxes in the UHaul storage unit, and in 10 days, we are outta here! This Friday for the BBQ?
Mine is Sunday. If you dont have it moved by then,
