This is why
projects take forever. The order gets longer
the further in you get and pretty soon you could've
been better off building a new house. The order goes
like this:
Because of the
dogs sleeping in the kitchen, shitty windows and a
backyard full of this dusty/sandy/dirt mix... the
kitchen is impossible to keep clean. It has
driven many a woman (and me) to great despair once
this was realized. So the list of things to do to
remedy that is long.
1) Replace the
windows
2) Make the
doghouse and put the doggie door through the wall
so they can sleep in there at night
3) Cover the
ground with deck/cement leaving a small area for
the dogs to use as a bathroom
Seems simple
enough. In landscaping the backyard however, we
realized we needed to move the trailer to the driveway
so as to have the space for the dogs to use as the
bathroom (we were redneckin' it in the yard before).
To do that you have to clear out the trailer. To do
that? You have to build the attic with plywood so you
have a place to store everything. Then you're left
with a foosball table that you decide you have to sell
so you set it all up under a tent you're using for the
baby shower on Sunday and realize you really
don't want to sell it. And here we go...
One thing leads to
another and now you're building a FOOSBALL deck
in your backyard because you have to. The nice
thing is that it's in what was a pretty unuseable
sapce before. It had the shed, but it was crowded so I
moved the shed over a few feet and voila. Perfect
space. Throw a tarp over it and man you're set. It
never freezes out here so hells yes! I have saved
my foosball, it's not in the house, it's not forced
upon whoever is renting the guesthouse and it isn't
sold! Problem solved.
...of course in
doing that I ran into another problem. The
steps go over a spot where I wanted to eventually put
a little putt-putt hole. So to even build the foosball
deck I had to at least plot that out.
I think you can
see where this is leading... lol. I mean, you
just have to lay the concrete around the golf hole to
secure the foosball deck don't you?
