My Weekend of House Duties

This weekend was spent doing lots of household chores. But in a good way, if there is such. We have a lot to do...so getting things done IS good.

Dining Room Wallpaper...

The culprit.

After pulling the wall paper down...left with lots of glue and wallpaper backing = the hard stuff!

Hub's parents came down for a visit this weekend and showed us how to efficiently get down that "hard stuff". We finished the Dining Room. The final product...well, until paint!

Tending to the yard...

One {small} portion or our yard, like 1/5 of our front yard...

We are lucky for one thing. We live in a city that allows us to shove our millions upon millions of leaves into the street - then 3 different times in November, the street sweepers come and collect it all - turning it into mulch! I think we might have had the most leaves on the block...

Our Street Leaves:

Post 3.5 hours of raking and leaf blowing... yes, there are still remnant leaves left in the yard - but that beats the 6 feet of leaves throughout our 3 front yards and 1 backyard.

Well...unfortunately, there are a lot of leaves left on this big beautiful tree...
But hey - that's what home-ownership gets ya, and I'm happy to do the work! Just can't wait to get the house to our taste and make it OUR home...but patience... patience...these things take time! Hope you all had a fantastic weekend.
