This weekend was full with two main tasks. Cheryl worked on
making the front yard more appealing. She cut down some privets, which the
neighbors have been complaining about. She also made great use of a leaf vacuum
that we bought. Instead of blowing leafs around it sucks them up and chops them
into little pieces. It creates a lot less dust than a leaf blower and collects
them instead of just pushing them around. Considering that I watched the neighbor’s
yard service company just blow leaves off their property and into common space,
I am glad that we are not being bad actors and are cleaning up the leaves
instead of just pushing them elsewhere. Unfortunately, I did not get a picture of all the work that Cheryl did, but this is what things looked like before she started cleaning up after the container got picked up.

With Cheryl’s help I spent most of the weekend fitting the
base cabinets for the snack bar. There is a ledge along the front wall of the
basement due to some foundation details so we had to cut out every cabinet to accommodate
the ledge. It was a bunch of work, but we now have the snack bar cabinets
roughed in and level. Next weekend will be installing a new bottom for the cabinets
and installing them. It is a great feeling to see more base cabinets going in.
