Yesterday we became the new owners of an 8 foot drainage pipe and 2 yards of gravel... how is that for excitement?! The drainage pipe at the end of our driveway is completely plugged up. The DOT is doing drainage work in the area and they are going to clean it out. Since the end of our drive is quite narrow, they agreed to extend the pipe and cover it with gravel, if we bought the materials. We had to jump on this opportunity quickly and our new lawn guy delivered everything in time for the work to be completed. Of course the DOT let us know yesterday that they were coming on Monday... it was a scramble to organize it all while trying to finish loading the gas kiln. In the end we held off firing until today so that it wouldn't be an all nighter.
What is really exciting is that our lawn guy bush hogged behind the house and we now have a sweet spot cleared for a nice big garden. Our plan is to clear a few more trees and brush, which will give us a nice view of the neighboring pasture. We've also discovered that we have quite a few pecan trees and more blackberry bushes!
And now for something completely different...
Last week we were a little disappointed that we would not be able to watch Steven Colbert host the late show. None of the streaming services that we have were going to carry it. There was no way we were going to pay for another service to watch one show. So what was our low tech solution?
Our home sits on top of a small hill, overlooking Seagrove. We figured we were in a good spot for an antenna...
Now if DISH network and Time Warner would stop sending me junk mail, every other day, with all those fabulous "deals".
