Ciao, Bush! Part Deux - The Attack of the Vigorous Crowbar
After some breakfast and a stimulating adult beverage, we got to work.
The project du jour was to sand and put a coat of primer on the newly revealed window box. Here's Nathan, fixing the loose bits of trim.
I got out the painting supplies, and Nathan said, out of nowhere, "I think I'll take down that third Xylosma." We were going to wait until next weekend, since we've filled up two yard waste bins and there's nowhere to put the debris. But who am I to stop a man with a saw?
So gloomy, so dark.
I finished the painting and brought Mr. Destructo a beer. I oohed and aaahed over the lovely afternoon light that was now shining in our yard. We discussed the nasty, rickety low fence and decided that eventually we should tear it down and move it over a foot and plant roses on the sunny side. More beer was consumed.
Suddenly, a determined glint in Nathan's eyes appeared, and he scuttled off into the garage. He reappeared with a hammer and a crowbar. "That fence is history," he announced. Before I had a chance to wrap my head around this revolutionary statement, he advanced on the fence, crowbar blazing.
And there was light.

Wow.

I love it when a plan comes together. Boy this gin and tonic tastes good.

I like how after every step, alcohol is involved. maybe that's how I need to get my hubby to do more around the condo...

Looks like Nathan "nailed it".
Sorry, I couldn't help it.
