New gate for the new fence!

Our fence was put up last month, woohoo! We probably won't live here the next time the fence needs replacing, but who knows?

I'll have to find the pictures I took, which wasn't very many. Didn't really feel like taking pictures like I did when they put in the new floors.

Anyway, we've got some friends putting in a new gate. We told the people who were putting up our new fence that we wanted to keep our old gate. So they did that, but now we're putting in a completely different style of gate. It's like a swinging door style, but it doesn't look like saloon doors.

I'll have to take some pictures of it once it's put in.

Finally getting our new fence

After a few years of our fence starting to collapse (it's being held up on both our side and our neighbors side by whatever we can find to support it :P), we're finally getting the a new one put in this week!

We did get one part of our fence redone before when it completely blew down (thanks to the Santa Ana winds), but that was with different neighbors who are only our backyard neighbors. But now I'm really excited for what's going to be put up in the next 2-3 days because it means our gate will finally work again and not drag on the cement when we open/close it.

They're starting tomorrow by tearing down the old fence. Yay!

Been quiet lately...

It's been really quiet here since early this month because the owner of the cockatiel we were watching finally took her back! I thought we were gonna end up being stuck with her forever.

No more "Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeh! Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeh!" in the mornings anymore. Nice and quiet. It was too quiet at first which was weird for a few days, but I'm so glad she's gone and things are back to normal.

Time for me to have a "Clean House"

I've been catching glimpses of those Clean House shows on... what is it the Style network or something?

How do people's houses get so messy? Geez, it's like they never even open any boxes that they get.

I can kind of see my own house turning out that way if I continue with my pack rat behavior of never really getting rid of anything. So I think it's time for a major spring cleaning here. I need to throw out anything I've never even looked at for the past few years. Easier said than done though because once I start looking though stuff, then that's when I start making up excuses to keep it. Maybe I should do my cleaning blindfolded.
