Carp-e-Diem !

Pop brought the truck up this weekend and we loaded it with all kinds of scrap / trash from the project.  We filled up the bed of his truck to nearly overflowing.  The trailer has been very useful for us.  But in order to get the drywall up to the second floor we need to get a big truck with a boom to go over the garage.  The truck will need to park in the space that the trailer occupies, so the trailer has to go.

After a morning-plus of cleanup the back yard has re-emerged like a phoenix arising from the flames – better than ever.  This is the new and improved back yard that does not need to be used as a driveway, since the garage doors are on the alley wall.

Thanks Pop.

What does our van have to do with Toby being happy?

Toby is exceedingly happpy because last week, Pop took the initiative to clean up the last bit of junk that was left in our garage from the windows and lumber and such.  This means that she is able to park the van in our garage again!  The last time that she was able to park in the garage was before the midnight lumber delivery.  It is the happiest that she has been in a long time.

Thanks Pop.
