Transplanting Shrubs

May 22, 2008

Transplanting Shrubs

Today’s job was to start transplanting some of the shrubs from the front of the property to the back. I am trying to take all the good shrubbery (did I just say shrubbery?) from the front hillside to transplant in the back, near the driveway. I already showed you the area I am working on […]

Taking Down the Basketball Hoop

Taking Down the Basketball Hoop

Ok, before anyone freaks out and asks why the heck I am taking down a nice basketball hoop, let’s just talk about this. There are a few good reasons. The first is that I don’t see myself shooting hoops outside all too much. I don’t even own a basketball. That’s not to say I’m not […]

Yard Work – Raking the Leaves is Done

Yard Work – Raking the Leaves is Done

I finally finished raking the leaves. There were a lot of them. I can’t say I liked doing this particular job for many reasons. One reason I didn’t care for this activity would be that it wasn’t much fun, with the presence of gnats coming in at a strong second. Apparently, gnats live in old […]

New Mailbox Installed

New Mailbox Installed

Today was an adventurous day for us. We had to go to the DMV to get our Connecticut drivers licenses. That in itself was an adventure. Now, we need to update our car insurance and go back to register the cars here. The thing that really stinks is that I just paid for a new […]

Installing a New Mailbox

May 12, 2008

Yeah, I keep saying I am going to run to Home Depot to get the mailbox stuff, but I just haven’t found the time yet. I feel like I’ve been stuck inside for days…wait, that’s because I have been. I am doing so much stuff. Unfortunately, it’s all at the same time. I take breaks […]

Lots of Raking Leaves Out of Gardens

Lots of Raking Leaves Out of Gardens

We took another trip to a different town today. We went food shopping at Stop and Shop in Colchester. Colchester was a pretty neat town, but a little busy for my taste. It was cute with a nice park right off main street. I think it may have seemed busy because rush hour was getting […]

New Washer and Dryer

New Washer and Dryer

Yes, I know, this is probably one of my more boring posts. Actually, maybe not…I have a lot of boring posts. Well, we had our new washer and dryer delivered today. We left our old ones back in NY. We were going to bring them, but I thought it would be a good selling point […]

Switching From Incandescent To CFL

Switching From Incandescent To CFL

I am always looking to be as energy efficient as possible. One of the ways I go about this is to always use CFLs (Compact fluorescent lamps) whenever possible. I have seen these types of bulbs bring down electric bills, first hand. When we moved in to this house, I knew I had my work […]

Some New Shelving For the Garage

Some New Shelving For the Garage

I never thought it would take so long to unpack a garage. It’s not that I have a lot of stuff, it’s that I refuse to just pile things up like I did in our other house. I say “other” because it’s not sold yet. There, I kind of had stuff over there, over here […]

The House is On the Market

April 26, 2008

Well, we went back to our house in New York today to do a final cleaning and get some stuff we left behind in the kitchen. On moving day, I thought it was just a few things. Today, I realized it was a full car load. When I say car load, I mean, trying to […]
