Retaining Wall - the wall people showed up this morning and started hauling off trash. Thank goodness! Maybe this is going to work.
Here is a more realistic schedule. And by realistic I mean please God, please get these people to show up and use some common sense in what they are doing:
July 1 Trash haul off
July 2 We could fill a few holes while the back yard is nice and dry
July 3 Top of wall prepared for backfill.
July 3 Extend steps nearest pool
July 3 Acid wash
July 3 (Big Steps?)
July 5 & 6 Backfill with rocks and dirt
July 8 spread dirt (allowing one day of rain). Wait until it is dry enough to spread the dirt
Everything depends on the stone guys and the backfill. That's why it is so slow.
Pool Tile - Manuel is there today and he is making solid progress.
Pavillion - Jeremy and I talked yesterday and to get the steel structure close to what I want, the price is going to be 50K+. I told him this was way over our budget and suggested a cheaper alternative using wood. He will put together some ideas and present them to us. If we can't come up with anything, we will pull the cedar posts, cover them with potted plants and try again next year.
Landscaping - Need to call Claudia and schedule sod for July 13.
Garage Cleaning - Sharlette and Shirley put the most awesome cleaning job on the garage that I have ever seen. Wow. Just wow!!!!
TV. Need to call the U-Verse people and tell them we had the security system team come inspect and they found no issues.
The Pastor's Yard. Thank goodness for this relaxing activity that is helping me keep my sanity. No one to mess anything up except myself. Today I will do as much weed eating as my battery will allow, and also some hoeing around the pool equipment and getting the back yard ready to mow again. Setting it all up for the big kill on July 5 and 6.
