This morning we had some alternate family members stop by the back patio. First Mama Hawk, staring at me through the rear sliding door, reminding me that perhaps I should stay indoors this morning :eek: Two of the three "babies" checking out their new hunting field in the backyard. Baby #3...

Protech, they did most of the work on my old 01 "S" Boxster road race prepped car.

Let's not forget what started this amazing journey in the first place, and of course the reason for the creation of this thread, last Wednesday, while sitting in the car awaiting SWMBO at the oral surgeon, I apparently, while no adult supervision was around, had a weak moment, or perhaps a...

A few more Patio and beds have finally come to fruition, better than we expected too.

Ok, I was mistaken, not 29 yards of mulch, only 28 yards, delivered and spread ;) Plants appear to be happy, maybe another year and they will really start to fill in the beds so I do not have to plant too much more.

I've had it since October, took a few weeks/months to sort it out and get it "baselined". New addition coming next week, flying out to pick it up and anticipate an uneventful 10-12 hour drive home. More details down the road, so to speak. ;)

Property is not big enough for a tractor in my eyes, but plenty of beds and side beds that require that much mulch. Slow and steady work, I'll make short work of it once it's here. Bill

I get it, even with the re-engineered swale along the right side of the garage area, going from the back corner of the property all the way to the street, it was still quite wet this afternoon when I was taking the pictures. I've had the irrigation system off since last week, so can't blame it...

Back beds are beautiful, all of the perennials we planted last fall are coming up three times larger than last year

No deer to be found this year, racoon, neighbors cats, squirrels, copperhead snakes, black snakes, bunnies, smaller birds, one turtle, hawks, falcons, a few barn owls, even a 400lb bear, but no deer within 10 houses. On the plus side, besides some sun related browning, the lawn has held up...

So, it's been awhile, carpet set has been installed Have not decided whether to move forward with the dash color change, still feeling things out. 05 Corvette convertible has moved down the road to it's excited, very young acting 82 year old new owner who had a bucket list item to check off...

6"-7" of pure powder here, a few small snowdrifts along the edge of the driveway with 10"-12", but nothing horrible, snow stopped around 5pm, I jumped right to it and was done with the driveway, walkways, even the street in front of our driveway all the way across just to play it safe, done by...

Just ordered a black carpet set and enough material to recover the dash in black as well. Once the material arrives here, I'll get to work pulling out and stripping the dash, along with removing the aged tan carpet and install the "Design Engineering Inc" Reflect-a-cool" heat shielding in...

MrBill went on his 47th annual new years day ride. A brisk 32 degrees at the start, thankfully it warmed up to 34 degrees before he made it home. However, one of the bearings in the steering shaft was not happy with the temps, and intermittently squeaked the whole ride. MrBill will have to...
