Spring seems to be the season to get the home improvement projects ramped up again. Since Grandpa V. was here with the cement equipment, he and Mark decided to see what they could do about straightening our fence that was leaning over as a result of the December wind storm. They decided the easiest thing to do was dig around the posts, pull the fence post back into an upright position, prop it with rocks, and pour some additional cement into the holes. I think it worked! Now we just need to finish filling the holes with dirt and Mark will have to mend a bit of sprinkler funny pipe that got chopped in the process.
We decided to take out our "fireplace" since it didn't work very well and the starter switch was broken and irreplaceable. The mantel had a broken front piece as well that we just couldn't fix up to look good. So, we had the gas guys come and cut and cap the gas line last week. We hauled out the fireplace and mantel, fixed the hole in the sheetrock and painted. That was one of the easiest projects we've undertaken around here. We should have done it years ago!!
