Things I haven't done since I made that list

[shadesofmauve]

I saw the list I posted last time I popped onto LJ, so I decided to copy it and see how much I'd gotten done!

Almost none of it, it turns out.

I got an extension on the Fake Driveway, so it's not due until November 11, which is good because the giant freelance project that was supposed to be done in May is STILL going in August, and there was another one in that time, as well as several gigs, Kiyoko's wedding, and ongoing health issues.

Fake Paver Driveway / Patio (must be done by June 1!)

• Finish digging driveway hole (mom helped)


• Order & spread gravel ($125 and mom's help)


• Form 'pavers' ($200, halfway done)


• pour driveway ($$$, requires dad's help)


• get inspection!

Other Yarden things

• Build short  retaining wall + steps in front ($$$$, hiring friend Tom to do it)


• Take down ~50' of old fence (the neighbor had that done with a backhoe but now she's super antsy that I haven't built a new one yet), build new fence ($$$ and work party)


• cut old fence boards down for border (borrow or buy saw)
