The first floor sand

This is the first round with the sander to refinish the floors. I'm so excited with how they turned out. We picked out a great dark red mahogany color. Can't wait to see the end product. Can't wait to show it'

The crazy weeds!

The parking pad out in the back of the house had become overgrown. Here is the first weeding job at the new place. Many more yet to come I'm sure. But I sprayed everything with a homemade natural weedkiller so hopefully it doesn't come back.

This is my house
