I thought I should give a project update since I haven’t said much about it.  I think we finally stopped for the weekend about 9:45pm Sunday night.  It was pretty dark out, but it was much cooler than standing in the sun when it’s beating down on you.

So after we placed the border we mixed in some top soil and then some garden soil, and finally put down a weed control barrier over the whole thing.  That where we stopped!  However my wife leaves for Mexico this Saturday so if we don’t get the plants planted and the mulch thrown down, looks like tazdog will have a long weekend finishing up the project by himself :O

It’s been a somewhat fun experience and at least I’m learning some new things.

Today we started our landscaping project.  Not really sure what we were thinking since it’s 95 out.  However Thursday night we said we were going to do it so here we are.  For starters I had soccer practice this morning so I was already in the hot sun for at least 2 hours, more like 2.5 hours.  But when I got home, Leslie had already started cleaning up the old dirt and pulling a few weeds that were still alive.

When I got home we decided to get about 1 more hour in on the flower bed before the heat really hit.  So we started working on the border stone first.  We figured that was what we needed to do.  I’m going to show a couple before pictures and a couple current pictures.  We stopped after we got the stone border done, cause it was really way to hot out.  Plus we wanted to go to the movies in the heat of the day and pick back up later tonight after the heat goes down.

Here is what we have so far:

OK so someone asked me earlier today what I was going to do tomorrow (The 4th) and the rest of the weekend, and at the time I said, I really have no clue, probably nothing.

Well in a matter of hours I had all of Friday planned, and most of Saturday and part of Sunday.

So here is my to-do checklist: (Mostly in Order)

• Workout Friday morning (first time in months)
• Take Mazzie Dog to the dog park
• Go play miniature golf with Leslie’s friends
• Go to Fry’s (Awesome electronic store)
• Go to Lowe’s for landscaping materials
• Go to Dinner with more friends
• Go to another friends house to watch a neighborhood fireworks display
• Soccer Practice
• Horse track to watch live horse racing or Wall-E the Movie
• Landscape front flower bed (lots of work)
• Church
• Possible networking consulting assignment
• Probably more landscaping

Wow that is a PACKED weekend…

Anyone have a crazy schedule like this or something else planned for this weekend?
