Backyard

Well today is another muggy day here in Jacksonville, Florida, but one good thing is that we have a clear backyard!. No grass of course, but a backyard with no weeds and no huge piece of concrete slab that the PO used as a parking spot. We paid our neighbor $150.00 to get rid of that nuissance and another $150 to make us some skirts for the outside of our house. He also cleaned up our yard. What a great worker! I will post pictures as soon as I can. As for the inside, Lita got sick of looking at the gross carpet so she ripped out all the carpet in 2 of the rooms. I tried to stop her, telling her that we could use the carpet as a floor sheathing for when we paint the walls, but she went crazy on the carpet and just pulled it all up. Guess I will have to buy some plastic sheets to put there when we start painting. But the floors did look nice, except for a few pieces that had gotten eaten by termites. Hopefully we can find some spare pieces in other peoples dumpsters or something.

For the master bedroom we have stripped all the windows and are now thinking about sanding them down and instead of painting the window trims we are highly thinking about staining them instead. I saw a house yesterday with stained windows and it looked great. Hopefully we can get the room finished soon so we can move everything in there.

We are still having troubles getting our home warranty getting our A/C fixed, it looks like we might have to purchase a new system. I hope they don't cost too much.....
