Project 101
Since the move from Owings Mills I have spent time doing and thinking of ways to improve my new place.
I now have a lawn mower and have to say that I truly enjoyed my first cutting. The mower has a bag, which rocks, but I can only imagine how different my perspective is going to be on the 101st mowing.
Slowly but surely I am getting things done and ideas are popping up into my head. What’s cool is that I couldn’t do this stuff at my old place. Now I have more flexibility.
Today after work I decided to get a couple projects out of the way. I have been gradually sanding the hand-rails on the front patio. After what I thought was a good enough sanding I laid some newspaper down. I emptied three cans of Rustoleum onto them. I’ll tell you, lay paper on the whole patio. Now, I have a nice imprint.
After that project I felt motivated to keep on going. I bought a 55 gallon fish tank a couple weekends ago and had yet to fill it. So a week ago I bought the sand, and tonight, here comes the water. I had everything prepared but forgot to test the hose. Oh fun, more to clean up. But now I have a tank that awaits its inhabitants.
I have gotten a few projects out of the way like these couple, but am clearly working with a work in progress. At this point I have much in the queue as ‘to do’ so I should be busy for some time. I am excited to see the finished project.
