And pictures!

I've spent most of the morning revamping my non-plan for this exploding domestic project into an actual, grounded, workable plan that will keep me out of rehab. First, I ranked each room by importance and divided work into corresponding phases. Then, I made a detailed list of all of our furniture, noted where each piece will be placed, and listed any repair/redo needs. Fingers crossed, and Advil stash replaced. (I'm not going to tell you this is fun and enlightening and refreshing and gorgeous. The place we are in right now is not pleasant. This is overwhelming as hell. There's your dose of honesty for the day!)

So, that said, pictures - today's set is of the back yard.

Here's a before shot:



An in progress shot, with weeds gone, peat moss down, and elevated bed set up:



And where it is now - we need to finish the gravel "patio" area and put down more peat moss. There are also planters...nevermind. Here's where it is now.



Why, no. We didn't buy nearly enough gravel or sand. Why do you ask? The gravel is going to cover a larger area, all the way up beside the elevated bed. There will be paving stones leading down to where the chairs and umbrella are. I know you can't see it, but it's going to be hella cool - - and if it's not, you will find me on my roof wearing clown shoes and a bikini, hollering.

Alright. Enough nonsense. There are bathroom cabinets to be cleaned out today so I can begin setting them up, as well as clearing out what's going to be our new bedroom.
