Day 1068 Barren land

13th July 2020

I decided to tackle cutting the front lawn. A patch of ground without a decent piece of grass on it. I had started to remove moss and weeds, but the soil is not good for growing anything. I have done a bit of experimental seeding, but that came to nothing. Some shoots came up but the harsh sun dried it to a crisp. I am told the best time to seed is early autumn, so I might try again then.

We had a house assessor come round to value the house, not that we are planning to sell it, but we wanted a current value that I can include in my paperwork that I have to return to USCIS with all the rest of my financial information.

We finally finished the dresser that we bought as a project piece months ago.

The handles that we had to purchase on-line turned up today, so we tried to assemble those.

That was a trial in itself, although the hole centres were exactly three inches, the drawer fronts were curved so we had to fiddle those to make them to fit.

Kelli started to strip another dresser outside in the sun. Wood dust was blowing everywhere, but the incentive was to finish the sanding then it was pool time.
