James and Kristin Whitt’s Corner

House Update

Well, we’ve been really slacking on working on the inside of the house.  Nothing has really been done besides cleaning up and unpacking still.  We still have a bunch of places that need painted upstairs.  Touchups and two doors still need to be painted.  Kristin has been working on cleaning up the back porch though.

I’ve been working outside constantly still.  I’ve almost finished cutting down all the trees, cutting up the logs, and shredding the rest.  At one point about two weeks ago, I really thought I was done.  Then a storm came through and knocked down half of our tree in the front yard.  So I’ve been working on that.  Then another storm came through this past week and knocked down another big portion of the tree in the back.  Just can’t win.

I’ve also started planting the grass around the house.  I’ve cleared out the circle of weed / flower / who knows crap in the front and planted grass there instead.  It’s starting to come up pretty good.  Realized that it’s not the same grass as the reset of the yard, so I over seeded the rest of the yard.  Has enough holes that it should work out fine.  Also started planting grass in the back yard where we have already cleared out all the trees and vines.  That’s actually growing really quick and will look awesome.

That’s about all that we have done with the house though.  Mostly working outside clearing weeds and vines, and then planting the grass so that we don’t live in a big mud hole.

Moby

James and I wanted to get my dad some fish for my parents’ pond as a small thank you for all the work and help he’s done with the house. James has also been wanting a mini pincher (minpin) dog so we wanted to see if the pet store had any. Well…long story short, we both fell in love with a puppy minpin and took him home. His name is Moby. He’s super hyper and is trying to get adjusted to his big sister and brother. We’ll put pictures up eventually.
