More seeding...

The seeding is just about complete. Now, bring on the hot weather with no rain!!!! It is supposed to be fairly warm over the weekend, but then we are supposed to get some rain early next week--let's hope!!!

These are the rock picker attachments. They used a rock sweep type attachment to put the rocks in rows, and then attached the bucket to scoop the rocks up. We have a huge rock pile in the backyard, so if anyone needs rocks.......

The backyard tilled and harrowed, no rocks picked yet, and no seed.

Landscaping--okay, tilling and seeding!!

The bathroom mirrors were installed last Tuesday--what a difference it makes! It is weird to walk by the rooms though, and be able to see your reflection--takes some getting used to! Main floor bathroom.
Todd's vanity mirror.
My vanity mirror--note all the Kleenex--Nathan loves to open boxes and pull the tissues out!!
Boys' bathroom upstairs. Jacob loves to stand in front of it and make faces!!

The prairie grass was cut with a rough cut mower yesterday, and now is being tilled today.

We had some gravel brought in the last week of May, just before we had all that rain. It was pretty muddy already at the end of the driveway, you almost got stuck getting out. The gravel is holding up well though.
The front deck. We can step out the front door now, but we still don't have steps in place to get up to the deck. We will wait for the seeding to be done, and then we will get a concrete pad poured, or put in some kind of paving stone blocks (depends on what we are going to do for a sidewalk), and then we will install the stairs, and finish the deck.

Todd was also up painting the office dormer on the weekend, and around the front door. We have no other spots that need to be painted brown. We have a couple pieces of trim board that need to be painted white still, but that will have to wait again now until the seed is growing nicely. The seeding company (Kayben Farms) came out a couple days earlier than we thought, so Todd was actually painting when they showed up. We had to move the lift out of the way though.

Hopefully we still get the occassional rain shower to help with the grass--once it is in. The lot has dried up nicely from last week. We had a lot of very big puddles--I think Jacob referred to them as "ponds", actually--they did come complete with the occassional duck, and lots of frogs!!! Oh yeah--and a few million mosquitoes!!!
