Project Cleaned Up

Category: Starting and Maintaining the Garden | Posted: Wed Jul 17, 2013 4:47 pm

Having a part of my home disorganized can be frustrating for me. I am not a neat freak...pretty messy actually, but I need a sense of order. With the filbert removal and then working on the smoke shack's interior it was pretty disconcerting with all the mess. Finally got it cleaned up yesterday.

It feels very good to have my patio space back.

We are still cleaning up bits and pieces from having the filbert trees drug out and mulched and I am starting on the bamboo today. But the smoke shack is finished to a point where we can put the saw horses and tools away. A lot got accomplished on the shack: electrical, insulation, inside paneling and flooring are installed. Still need to urethane the floor and finish some of the trim. Painting to seal up the wood on the windows and porch will complete the job. All that needs to wait for payday.

A grown-up play house, excuse me...cigar room. Much nicer than the old garden gazebo/tent and will get used year round just like the old structure. Really nice to be able to shut out the rain and mosquitos and not collapse under the snow.

I think it's just right for a GardenStew party don't you? What a wonderful space to be able to go to for a bit of peace and quiet, rest and relaxation.
