to work on the Vegas house - part 6

09-27-13 to 09-29-13

279 miles
 
 

MDH fixed the lawnmower and mowed the lawn...
 
 
The grass would come back if there was someone there to water it.
It is already looking better from just being watered on the weekends...
 
 
While he mowed, I trimmed the palm trees...
 
 
We put some rocks in the front flowerbed...
 
 
And hung a curtain rod and the curtains on the sliding glass door in the living room...
 
 
and some blinds in the garage...
 
 
Saturday morning we had two neighbor teens come over to help move rocks...
 
 
 

 
MDH fixed the gate.  It was falling off.  I painted it while I had the brown paint out...
 
 
MDH put up a new light for the outside patio...
 
 
and fixed the drain for the dishwasher...
 
 

 I worked on finishing the painting on the trim around the windows...
 
 
 
 
 
 
while MDH cut new toe kicks for the kitchen...
and took all the drawers & shelves out & cabinet doors off to sand them...
and paint them...
 


 
Ta dah...
 
 
 
MDH put new outlets in the kitchen...
and fixed the sink sprayer...

 
We will put the drawers back in next weekend. 


 
MDH put a new faucet in the bathroom...
 
 
while I cut the dead stuff off the rose bushes...
 
 
And we packed up the box spring to bring back to LA...
