Gotta make the most of the summer. Been bitching about the heat, but before you know it I'll be bitching about the cold.

Plumbers will be in the building tomorrow working on the main pipes. So, no flushing or running water from 10am to 2pm. I'll make sure to fill my kettle tonight for the morning.

I think I'll relax today.
I won't be able to backfill the front until tomorrow, so instead of getting dirty twice just to do the side of the house today, I'll just do it all tomorrow. This *should* be the quick and easy part. I'm hoping the wire fencing to prevent mole tunnels along the foundation are as easy to make as I think they'll be.
I don't want to expose any more of the foundation until that's done, and I won't be doing any work on the shed slab until I can expose the side of it.

Hope you both have good days.

It's not really the season, considering that I have to crank up the oven to 350-400 for an hour, but I made roast onions, potato, and zucchini yesterday. (The zucchini is doing well again this year.) So tasty, for just a simple prep! It was so good I think I'm going to do the same thing again tomorrow, only I'll throw a chicken in the oven too.
C'mon over for dinner! I'll make a salad with fresh garden tomatoes too!

Thank you, Sigs.
I had a great day!
I didn't relax, and boy I'm glad I didn't. Backfilling is NOT a quick and easy job when I'm measuring and cutting all of those metal cloth pieces and putting them perpendicular to the foundation to keep the moles from making any tunnels there.
It's REALLY not quick when I'm also using the gardening tools to grade all of the existing dirt away from the house in prep for the rocks.
And it certainly isn't quick when I managed to put down some fabric and 17 fifty pound bags of the river rock so I can see what it's going to look like.
I wish I didn't have to backfill the front tomorrow, but I'll finish doing that and then get back to doing as much of the rocks on the side that I can get done. I'm so glad I decided to start on that because this is going to be transformative.
SUPER MOTIVATED NOW!
And unlike today, I won't be miserable in the sun the first half of the day doing the backfill, and hopefully by the time I get back to putting rocks down on the side the sun is hiding behind the tall trees across the street.

That sounds so freakin' good. Too bad we're more than half a country away from each other.
