Tuesday Tasks #1

After the big kitchen redecorate/remodel job was finished we were left with a VERY messy garage, but Dale said he wasn't going to clean it out until he cleaned out the shed to make room for all the scrap lumber, etc. SOOOOO....I asked if he would take Tuesdays off after the wedding until he ran out of vacation days for the year OR until he couldn't take off due to events in the church. YEAH!! This past week was his first Tuesday off and thanks for his regular Mondays off that gave him two full days in a row to get to work on necessary home projects.

This week he cleaned out the van from all the little fern leaves from the wedding (sorry no pic). Sounds simple but it was HUGE for me to have him do this. He actually took his leaf blower and blew the leaves right out the back, then he put the benches back in. Thanks Babe!


This is the gate he installed at the base of our steps that lead to the upstairs. Charlie is just one little guy who needs to be confined. It was hard to find a gate to fit this area so we have been procrastinating, but I am thankful - so very thankful - to have it installed and not have to watch the climbers like a hawk. He had to shorten our railing then add a piece of wood (which meant cutting and staining it), drill a couple holes in the post for the eyelets and now the kiddos are safe - Thanks Babe!!!

He began his work on making the holder for his wood in the shed

The day started out chilly so Dale started out with a sweatshirt on but by the end of the day we were in the 80's. doesn't he look so buff in his tee shirt?!

He also got the remainder of the tomatoes picked so we could enjoy a final BLT wrap of the summer. Didn't have great success with our tomatoes this year, but thanks to my dad having a garden at my uncles house and a co-worker of Julie's we had plenty of tomatoes and thanks to my mom who "needs something to do" we got several jars of canned tomatoes and celery sauce. I should be all set for a few years now. We also enjoyed fresh green beans from my dad's garden which were sooo yummy! Thanks for sharing the fruits of your labor, Dad!!

Tune in next week to see what other task Dale will have accomplished on my never ending "honey-do" list.
