Almost Spring in Cincinnati
<===== This is the Garden Gate, aka "The Gates of Hell" from a prop at church. Here's the outside plan: there is a hodgepodge of fencing around the property now...I am having a company install a new privacy fence around the rear and sides of the property...from the railroad to the house...and a more decorative fence and gates about midway across the driveway. This will give us a front and back yard. I am leaving part of the cinderblock wall that used to be a garage wall at the rear of the property and will raise it to about ten feet. The plan is to create an outside theater and to show neighborhood movies. Sort of reminiscent of this photo which we have in our bedroom (O. Winston Link)...but without the cars:
This week so far I've taken advantage of warmer weather to transplant three Redbud trees, two ornamental grasses, several Rose of Sharon sprouts and a Forsythia bush. We also moved the shed from the old garage foundation to next to the house...two of us inside, pushing up on the roof and walking...must have been a funny sight!
I also dug a tunnel under the walkway and ran a three inch drainage line from the gutters so rain will no longer drain into the basement.
No, still working on the bathroom ... still no water..... Today, the plan is to install two joists in the downstairs bathroom floor and put down some concrete backer board...while Mark learns how to do hardwood flooring.
Thanks for checking in! Deano
I drove by as they were starting on the fence, it's looking nice.
