Wednesday was the day this week where all the planting and hydroseed got done by Jim and crew! Hooray! It looks fantastic and officially takes away the title of "most ghetto house on TJ Gamester". I don't know who wins that now but definitely not us! It was a little bittersweet for Ben and Cal. Grampa Jim did have to demolish the cherished dirt pile. Cal was at school and didn't get to have the last ceremonial rites with it. Ben did though and I think it might just have been the happiest day of his entire life. I let him roll down the dirt pile, slide down it, throw the dirt, put it in his hair, smear it on his face, it was literally everywhere. He screeched with joy as I cringed at the mess he was making. Oh well, I got through it knowing it'd be the last time.
Next house project: Demolish front stairs and walkway. Add new ones. Add portico (is that what it's called - the little inverted V enclosed structure over a front doorway?). Remove rot from garage trim and paint house! haha...maybe over the next few years?!
