Summer Projects- Day 1

- 4 trips to Home Depot (x 2 cars)
- 2 people approaching me with questions at Home Depot because I am wearing an orange t-shirt
- A possibility of going slightly over budget
- Patio area dug out and sanded. Just waiting to lay the stones (weighing 37 pounds each)
- Some sod laid out, will do the other half tomorrow
- 4 flats bought, need flower boxes for them
- 78 interlocking blocks to build flower bed
- 1 really hard working guy from Craigslist who happens to work for a landscaping company and brought all of his tools with him (score!!!!!)

Results: We are on our way. It looks nice. I think a bbq is in order next week.

Hilarious!! Amy had the same thing happen to her when she went to home depot wearing orange. I hope you're taking lots of before and after pictures.
