Yes!! It’s done! All planted! We finished busting sod on the back end of the garden, where I plugged in the squash seeds. Here’s hoping I don’t get too much damage from the rabbits and deer.
The photo turned out funky. I think my camera is starting to croak. It’s not focusing very well, and the color is now acting up. I got it refurbished, hmmm….
Anyway, now that the planting is over (well, we do have to plant sunflowers and tomatoes, but that’ll be easy), I can turn my attentions to the renovation. I got a quote from another plumber and his quote was $4200. :O I almost fainted. Wow. I don’t think I can do this, folks…. the plumbing is as much as the renovation budget here… *sigh* So I’m going to get one more quote from a different guy, and see what happens. If I only had the time, I’d do it myself. But I don’t have the time. This renovation must be done by mid-August. Whew.
More to come…. we start demolition in exactly one week. It’s heavy, heavy labor. And messy. I’m gearing up for it. No need to buy diet pills these days! 8-hour shifts of ripping plaster and lathe will do it for me… (well, a girl can hope!).

I hope you can find a reasonably priced plumber. Why does it have to be done by that date? I must have missed reading about the August date. Your garden looks wonderful.

Hi Karen! Well, I forced us to make a schedule, because I’m concerned this project will take forever… secondly, come August, the kids get ready to get back to school, it’s harvest time for our garden, and we start to prepare for winter here. Plus, I am DEFINITELY going to need a few weeks of vacation time after this… :S
