Memorial Day Project

Enjoyed the Memorial Day weekend around
our house (which is for sale). That means
there is always something that needs doing.

If you are looking for a ground cover, you should
look into Grape Ivy. It is planted in just a pot
out in the flowerbed, but as you can see it has
taken over. That makes it a great ground cover!

After a normal weekend of cleaning up around the house,
taking calls and showing property, we used Saturday
morning and Sunday morning to give the storage
barn a new lease on life. After power washing,
the old paint was just about naked, so I think the
old girl really enjoyed this first coat of
"Red Hot" barn paint! She will need a
2nd coat, but looks much better after the first
one. A little rebuilding on the doors and a 2nd
coat, and she will look great again!


Even the leaves were painted
in this "red for all" weekend!
