Guys, thanks for all the positive comments on my pedestal stands, I still have not found time to get them painted.
I helped my daughter buy her first house, she has been renting for a few years now and in order to find one in her price range we bought a fixer upper, that was eight weeks ago, hence my absences from The Garage Journal, between my busy day job and spending every waking moment at her new house, I have spent zero time in DaBarn. Hey! I flipped an entire house in eight weeks
I will start with some of the work I did outside first, the people that moved out of this house we not much on cleaning
This is what the back yard looked like when she purchased the house
And this is what it looks like after several weeks of mowing sweeping and cleaning.
Next I cut down an old bent up basketball poll and thought I could dig out the cement used to hold it in place, what I didn't know is that they used Florida hurricane wind calculations to anchor it in the ground, well I kept digging and I kept finding more concrete
After much digging and I still had yet to find the bottom, I called in backup, I had my neighbor drive his tractor over to pull this monstrosity out of the ground, there has to be 700 pounds of concrete in there
Well, I won that battle and I also removed a large tractor tire from the front yard, "nothing says redneck more then having a large tractor tire sitting in your front yard"
This is a photo I pulled off of Google street view, its what the front of it looked like when she purchased the house.
This is what it looks like today after much cleaning, mowing, digging, raking, seeding and laying down straw
I still have a list of things I want to get done, next up is edging the sidewalks and driveway.
Now on to the inside
