I haven't been up to a ton that has to do directly with the house. I put in a few new garden beds, plugged a bunch of logs with grey oyster mushroom plugs (but I need more logs for the rest of the plugs), and painted a barn quilt for my shed. I did move about 3 yards of dirt into the lower flower bed that I'm trying to grass over, and while I've tossed some seed down on it, it's going to need more dirt to really kill everything under it. Despite the cardboard sandwich that I used to kill the back flowerbed, the day lilies are still finding a way through. Every few days I go out and cut them out.

New beds - I had intended to box them in until I saw the price of lumber.
The far right are the recycled boxes from last year, all nicely leveled.

I attempted to replace my leaky outside water faucet. After mangling it pretty good, I had to call in a plumber. It wasn't cheap, but when the fix leaked, they came right back and fixed it right.

Filled in lower bed. The lawn was a lot softer than I thought, but since I'll have to get more in for the fall, I don't know if there's a point to fixing the lawn.

I've been making the windows for Ian's shop. This is the 4th window, and the last of it's size. Now for 4 more, slightly smaller.

Mushroom logs, all plugged and thinking about life behind the shed. I have to remember to water them.

I decided I wanted some art for the side of the shed that faces the road. I had a 4' piece of left over 1/4" ply in the basement.

TaDa! Shed quilt.

I think I'm going to mount it with a French Cleat. That way I can remove it in case of weather, or swap it out seasonally. :)
