The trashed: We know who the culprit is. And we know the actual whereabouts of the supposed absentee landlord, who's actually not-so-absentee. I am now very much a part of helping the board of our HOA get something done about what's happening, and rather like it. The un-maintained path that makes it nearly impossible for us to get our trash around to the front is only the tip of the iceberg. This is a case of a deadbeat landlord and a tenant who doesn't care to see that anything's done, either. And that's all I'm going to say about it for now, because there are better things happening I'd much rather focus upon. Plus, I don't want to get sued.
The back yard: We have one! We have a back yard! I pulled up weeds, put down two bales of peat moss, set up a raised bed that will be an herb garden, and made a little patio area out of gravel. Then I popped in a cute, red patio umbrella and two red chairs. Another bale of peat moss and one more six-bag round of gravel are pending, and then it's on to repainting some old grills to be repurposed into planters, getting the soil and the plants for those, and planting the herb garden. We've also got a set of patio furniture to repaint for the deck. Did I mention that I'd like to have all of this done by next weekend? I'd like to have all of this done by next weekend.
Which means I'd better get back to work. Pictures coming as soon as Photobucket will cooperate!
