Wall upgrade
May. 15th, 2025 03:51 pmThere is a nice French guy outside fixing the stone wall on our house for us. The guy who seems to be sort of organizing the construction came inside to look at the bathroom this morning. It will take about a week to get it all fixed, but if he came inside it means that it should start soon. FINALLY!!! The shower area is really not good. (There is some kind of problem so that all the paint is peeling off the walls and is moldy. Not because the bathroom isn't fancy enough.)
The landscaper also contacted us and said that she may have found someone who can build our raised beds. Yay! Once we have gotten those planted and the trees trimmed (no idea when exactly that will happen), I think I'll try to get her to help me come up with a way to get rid of the weeds between our wall and the asphalt in front of our house. I have no idea who is responsible for them, as sometimes the people who mow along the roads come by and deal with it, and sometimes the guy who owns the property behind and on the side of ours does. I think maybe we can put heavy black landscaping material over the area once the weeds are cut down and then maybe put concrete planters over top? Maybe we could put succulents and little cactus in the pots? Drip irrigation (since I have no functionality for watering)? Of course, I have 1000 things I'd like to do, but not yet. Amusingly, neither of us wants to travel because there is so much stuff here that we need to do. It will be nice when the house is a bit more organized.
