Leafs and Cabinet


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.
The Container is Gone
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.
