The day after we relined the pond, I filled it up some more and rearranged the rocks and pavers a little.
That brings us to the end of the pond project and start of the next. The rain and more water filled the pond up over the next few days - and after adding more mud and a clump of pond weed that Liz gave me, the pond is done.
Next, the house was due to be repointed in the midst of the month - so the next week I spent taking down the mini greenhouse, ripping ivy off the walls, and so forth.
Out front, I had plants to cut back and dead ivy to rip off....
The side wall had to have weeds cut back and the old door yanked up to the plastic shed side.
One of the next two external projects I have to do is replacing that shabby side porch/bike alley.
The scaffolding went up.....2 days before the workman arrived.
There was not much room to get into the back yard - I have to squeeze thru to feed the birds or carry laundry or attend the poly tunnel or pond....but at least I could get into the back yard. The other door up front was not openable...so there was no way into the front from the back.
You can see the other project next on our list - along with the side porch - the gutters and downpipes, fascia and soffits all need replacing. These two projects I hope will be completed by the close of 2021.
