So, yes, the most noteworthy thing today was that the Giant Dumpster got hauled away. Thus showing the disaster the front lawn and garden still are.
I actually need to get out there with my tub-o-Round-Up and wipe out the rest of that grass. We're definitely moving to an un-grassed front yard, I think.
It was also 80°F today, so I need to start thinking about (manually) watering trees and other plants that may be thinking about coming back.
One bright side to the dumpster moving was that it revealed some crocuses coming up. Huzzah.
Inside, it was mostly more coats of drywall goop, which isn't much more interesting than it sounds. I did get a chance to have a long chat with the contractor about all the stuff that had my in a tizzy yesterday in contemplation, and things are now under control. Also discussed what painting can be done before Cabinetapalooza begins at the end of the week.
Also, ordered faucets for the main sink and the island sink, Delta Trinsic's. Also got estimates on the flooring, and am looking at different installer options (someone other than me, though I can actually do it).
The picture below not only shows the Lack of Dumpster, but also what the kitchen / basement extension is looking like from the outside, balanced against the living room in front. I think the design complements quite nicely.
So, overall, a good day on the project.
Very nice! It's good to have the garden exposed in early spring. We gave up on the grass, too, after our remodel. The whole place is natives now, and it's lovely (and pretty easy to maintain.) Of course, it's damp enough here that it grows pretty thick.
I swear to god poori raat menu sapne che aaye tusi. Sweetu tusi samne aake menu kidda pyaar karoge ki bologe?
+Paula Moore Kind of the direction we're headed toward — maybe not so much on the natives (we have a lot of roses to replant), but something distinctly other than turf.
