this was a busy busy day. Ii cut the sheet of plywood for the soffitt and installed it. This concludes the carpentry. Next I brought the rake onto the roof and with the leaf blower managed to clean the pine needles off the garage and porch roofs. There were quite a few. In order to free up my cart I weeded the garden and then spread the pine bark that was parked in the cart. I fertilized the roses before mulching them with the bark Next I raked up the pine needles and used them as mulch around the fence near the butterfly bush in the corner. I had 2 loads of pine needles which I used to put down a nice thick coat. After the pine needle cleanup I fired up the pressure washer and washed the front of the house over the porch and then the sidewall over the garage. The side roof was filthy. Dinner tonight was hamburger and baked beans with garden tomato and Vidalia. Yummy. I ordered our Dallas Lonestar tickets tonight since today is the last day of the southwest sale. I got them for around the price of going to California which was $700 round trip bottom line. Not great but I'll use them as a place holder.
