a seriously late update.

So here is kinda a site tour one year after we've been in the house, with a few random pictures.

 Grissom and mango decided to help me work on the diesel.

 horrible horrible horrible flower bed. thats the reason why im not doing any interior remodels this summer or fall. just all landscaping. plus i want a tan. but honestly i cant ever do it. i just get freckles and burn. son of a buck.

 here is where the proposed mud room is going. still hillbilly looking after a year.

 scrap pile. gotta pay the bills somehow.

 i dont understand the placement of this. why is it facing into the grass? hillbilly. anyways, its coming out. then being put towards my man fund. guns, motorcycles, man stuff.

 redneck mailbox. its horrible. thats not even our last name. but the saab  photobombed this one.

 you can kinda tell where out property goes out to where the dead corn is half raked. the property flag is out of the picture to the right.

 the backyard. where mango tango goes crazy.

 here is the back corner of the property. you can kinda see the corner orange flag in the ground.

 heres along the back side of the property. outlined in orange flags so the farmer dude wont plant again. soon there will be grass. i love mowing.

 just removed the hay bales from the side of the house, now i just gotta remove the 1" rigid insulation.

there she is. all in her glory. i hate that darn satellite dish in the front lawn. but i just dethatched, fertilized, and spread grub killer, so my lawn should be looking amazing here real soon.

 here is the cat. Guzzi. Lady guzzi. named after the great moto guzzis. her job is to catch intruding mice, moles, and anything else obnoxious.

 Grissom decided he wanted to help me roll the lawn. he fell asleep pretty much right away.

 wife and tankers. ready for a daily bike ride. as you can tell he is super excited to ride bikes. motocross here we come.

 raleigh m80 fitted with a baby seat. super chunks is ready for the trails.

long day. time for some beauty rest.

 here is a few of the kazillion rocks that i dug out of the flower bed. i didnt know where to put them, so i am saving some for a fire pit. all the rest are going on the property corners.

 at the property line, you can kinda see what i cleared out. dethatchers are amazing. thanks red rice.

 getting everything ready to plant grass in the fall. until then, mowing weeds.

 is that a race car? absolutely. its my  newest addition to the car family. '81 vw rabbit diesel. runs like a champ. but only tops out at 67 consistently. got to 76 once. i was haulin.

 GTI rims and bumpers thank you very much. the wheels will be painted gunmetal gray, and the racing stripes....destriped.
