We are at the stage of "decorating" the house, and "landscaping" the yard. These are in quotes because I am trying to do this for no money! Additionally I am really trying NOT to buy additional furniture since we have SO MUCH STUFF! Of course this is a problem if you need a storage containment unit, so we may end up buying some things after all.
I'd really like a system for the DVDs, we have hundreds and they are in a motley assortment of racks. As you know I love the mission style and we have one closed mission style DVD case, would love to have more or build some that "go". If we build something it will just be open like a bookshelf. J is getting really frustrated that we aren't moving stuff into place, but he WON'T move furniture once it is situated, so I have one shot. And until we get the furniture up there and see how it fits I don't know where to put his stupid bookcase. This is the bc full of "decorative books. I hate "books for show", but if he wants them it's ok. Kind of like a painting I don't like, or the chair he doesn't want (what am I saying, he wants everything!)
The yard is insane - all kinda beat up from the earth moving. Our neighbor may help us since he is a master garden and will work for cheaper than a landscaper. The sort of plan is to get fill and top soil and smooth it all out with the tractor. Then put in the sprinkler system. Then plant or sod a lawn (this could be next year). I actually sprinkled grass seed over the lawn area (which is all rocky and lumpy) just so we wouldn't have a field of mud. We'll see what happens!
