Spring=Work Outside

Now that spring has definitely sprung-and early!-we have a lot to get done outside.

Jeff started the day off by demo-ing our front porch.  He is going to add new spindles and railings.  Our old ones were rotting and the capenter bees had a hey day with the untreated wood.  The house looks really stately without the spindles and rails, but for safety I guess it is best we replace them.  :)

We also pressure washed everything.  We are so thankful that a friend let us borrow his pressure washer!  The sidewalks, outdoor furniture, and pool deck all got a good washing.  Jeff still has parts of the house to do, but we made a huge dent today.  It is amazing to me how the furniture looks new after a good wash!

Jeff also weeded and got our beds ready for new mulch.

We have a lot we want to accomplish next weekend.  Here is a little list of the jobs we have yet to do outside.
  • purchase and spread mulch
  • purchase and plant flowers and shrubs
  • finish pressure washing
  • purchase and add gutters and down spout to back porch
  • clean and open pool
  • purchase materials and build and paint front porch railings and spindles
  • replace front door screen door
Here's some inspiration:

Do you have a long outdoor to do list?  Do you love spring as much as I do?

Oh! And this is another goal...
