Pete and Kelli’s social distance day 55
11th May 2020
I spent some of the day at the moss farm, otherwise know as the front garden. The last owner of the house was not very active in the garden, and was happy that he could see green stuff. I am determined to bring it back to grass.
I checked to see what the cost of getting people in to renovating it, and was shocked to find that it could be as much as $5000 which was a little steep.
So I thought I would tackle it myself in stages, but first I had to remove the moss. This is no mean feat, as I tried a moss killer first but it didn’t have much effect, and getting anything stronger is hard to find, unless you are a professional business. I think it is because people were making homemade bombs, but I thought that was fertiliser. However the stuff you can buy is weak in comparison, although the really dangerous “Roundup” weed killer is widely available.
I did a little work on the coffee table by spraying a tinted finish to even out the colour.
We then had to deliver the dresser to Cameron’s apartment, not an easy task as the doorway was just wide enough to get the thing through.
We have been approached by someone to refinish a dining table and an old desk.
The table is not difficult, but I really don’t want to tackle the desk as it has so many hard places to try to strip.
