Busy Busy Sunday

We started out the day waiting for a plumber to be available but no luck there. Part of the issue is that we have a home warranty that the sellers gave us with the house and plumbers with a contract with the warranty company get first choice. We were eventually authorized to go outside of the network but of course there are stipulations. So it's about 36 hours since we discovered the broken water heater and we still wait.

We cut some limbs off the big tree that hovers over our pool and took the brush to the brush drop off. Then we headed out to Target and got ourselves a deck box. We had a spot next to the house for it but it's a dirt pit with tons of weeds so we stopped at Home Depot to pick up a few supplies for a quick and cheap fix.

The before picture...

After we ripped out the weeds, Nick tacks down the Weed Block.Voila! The marble chips (rocks) and the deck box.
SURPRISE! It's 127 gallons. How could I not resist trying it on for size?

You guys are doing a great job on the house! Broken water heaters and other unexpected projects are gonna come up, but you'll get better and better at taking care of those things. It's worth it all to have that awesome place, don't ya think? Especially that closet! Now all those purses and shoes have a nice home... and maybe there will bee room to add even more!
