spent a good portion of Saturday working through the project list…

the flat rock in the waterfall area was glued down…

the sad planter got a few coats of bright blue paint…

a used pond hose had clamps removed and was cut down into pieces that fit into the garbage can…

large pieces of tyndall stone were moved to tidy up the veggie garden area…

a board under the bed was trimmed so I won’t bang my shins on it…

a broken piece of 2 by 10 was removed from the bench and clamped together to produce a template for the replacement…

what fun to check off so many items from the list😊…

my Ottawa son-in-law arrived today to spend a few weeks with me…

he has plans to help get a few jobs done around my house…

we had breakfast out and then he changed the light switch in the kitchen to one that is compatible with my Google Home…

it felt like I pushed every one of the switches in the basement before we found the correct one to be sure the power was off, lol…

got out the tools Kasa recommended and in a few minutes he had it switched out and working…

then he changed the bulb on the ceiling fixture and put the cover back on… it has been off for months as the Philips Hue I was using needed airflow around it…

looks so much better now…

one job done… not saying how many are left on the list😂…

today I took care of a few jobs in the garden…

I watered the grass seed twice and visited with my baby bunny buddy while I was at it;-)…

I levelled the water barrel, which was a fairly heavy job, but managed to get it done…

and finally, I cleaned the pump so the waterfall works better… every three or four days it gets clogged and needs to be cleaned out… when it is warmer, I sit on the bridge and clean it standing in the water… the water is still rather cool, so I’ve had others do it when they are over…

today, I put down a cushion and laid on it as I leaned way over the stones and was able to grab the bits and pieces stuck in the filter… almost immediately the sound of the waterfall improved… I was even able to get back up without too much difficulty;-)…

had the urge to get a few unfinished jobs completed, so while my son-in-law was here we tacked a couple of them…

last night I printed a number of pictures to put in a frame that I’d picked up a while ago and hadn’t been able to decide on what should go in it… I’d been waiting for the professional photos that we had taken in October… but once I started choosing I ended up with pictures that I, or the kids, had taken… it was fun because my son-in-law had got the wifi printer working perfectly so that I could print right from my phone… I do love technology, lol… unfortunately I stayed up very late to finish the job…

so this morning I hung the frame up… yay me, although consensus has it that it might need to come down a bit on the wall…

then he helped un-decorate the two small trees, box them up and put them away in the basement… looks way more roomy in the living room now… left everything else up for New Year’s dinner tomorrow…

I’ve had an IKEA drawer for ages that needed to be put together and installed so he also did that… took a few minutes to decide where it would actually fit…

it is going to make getting the pots out a lot simpler, although it has to be held open or else it slides shut on its own… apparently the kitchen cupboards might not be perfectly level…

and finally this evening I emptied out a drawer that was filled with expired crackers and cereal, lol…

I feel very accomplished;-)…
