to work on he Vegas house - part 10

10-18-13 to 10-20-13

The End.  Almost.

 

Saturday morning...



After a trip to Lowe's for more paint, we could get to work painting the patio cover.

This took most of the day.
 

 

 

Carpet Monkey came out to clean the carpet in the spare bedroom.

 

 

We painted the deck brown to match the trim on the house,  I like this color way better than the redwood color it was before.

 

 

This is the last time I ever care to paint something like this.

 

At least there was a  pretty yellow rose...

 

While dinner was cooking,

 

 

 we cleaned the closet.  I wish I could bring it back to LA with me...

 

 

Sunday Morning, MDH cut up all this wood. 

 

 

The trash truck did not take it so we put it in the dumpster at the corner store.

 

 

and took a little time for some fun.  A trip to the thrift store:))

 

 

We straightened up the garage and put the wood that we wanted to save in the attic.  I also packed up the pots and pans, silverware and plates to leave up there too.

 

 

After MDH packed up the car, we took some more time for fun.

Since I left, a new shopping center opened right down the street & we had not been there.   It is connected to the park across the street by the Angel Park trail.  So we went on a lunch date to Tivoli Village for some Japanese food.

 

 

 

We need some lights like this in our back yard...

 

When we got back to the house, I cleaned floor and picked some figs...

 

While MDH loaded the iron fence, the swing and the wheel barrow to bring back to LA.

 



 

The car is jam packed full.  I got quite a kick out of this.  There is even a lawn mower in there.

Don't ask me where we are going to put all of my stuff.

We are finally finished with all the work:)  I thought this day would never come.

I will have to make one more trip back to Vegas.  We could not fit half of the dresser or the lamps in the Jeep.  And I have to throw away the old mattress from the guest bedroom that we have been sleeping on.  But that's ok, because I can hopefully get my hair done while I am there:)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 



metal flowers on Durango - Angel Park

I have been wanting to stop and take photos of these for a while.  Since I was there alone, and could do what I wanted on my own time schedule, I stopped on my way to Lowe's.

 

 

The city built a trail around the golf course that connects to a few other parks.  It goes all the way to Tivoli Village and the shopping center across the street as well as the Suncoast casino.  I really wish this was there when I lived there.  I would have ridden my bicycle all around.  We used to go to Angel park all the time.  It's only two blocks away.

There are several different playgrounds for children, turtles that shoot water out in the summer,  as well as tennis courts.

It's really nice with beautiful mountain views.

 



 

I met the guy who made these flowers.  He stopped to talk to me when he saw me taking photos.  He works for Las Vegas Valley Parks & Rec.  I should have asked him to make one for me, but I didn't think about it until after he was gone.

 

 

These are my favorite ones, but I didn't take the time to cross the street and take photos of them.

 

 

I didn't walk down far enough to get photos of the palm trees close up wither.  Maybe next time:)
