Canada Day

It's Canada Day and I had to work but managed to get a bit done in the yard. My 16 year old teen boy watered everything for me and weeded the raspberry hedge for me bless him....but he owes me some slave labour. He got a dread kit for doing well in school, passed his first diploma and so I bought it....10 hours of backcombing, waxing, scrunching, and dreading up his hair he owes me and I pretty much own him tomorrow so that the garden gets done. I want to make a couple of frames to finish off the tomatoes and I found a dozen more spiral stakes to stake the ones that I can't tie to the frames. Now to get the cucumbers up on frames...where is the time going?? I swear there is so much to do and it's July so there is always weeding to keep me occupied if I even think I might be getting a little bored.
The base for the adobe oven and spit/firepit is 2 layers high and I might just get the next level done on my days off. If the weather cooperates that is. If it doesn't and I can't work outside I have a family room that needs a bit of work well a lot of work two little boy sleepovers will do that to any basement. They tried to clean up I am sure I saw an attempt made but it is time to strip it out to the baseboards and get er done. LOL While I am down there I think I might try and make some decisions about paint and switching things around. There is an airtight wood stove down there and we just got permission to buck and split a cord or so for free. If it goes well
we may find another cord or two and pay for the cutting fees. Any bit of help on the winter power bill would help.
That being said it is the beginning of garage sale season and I just found the boys an air hockey game for like 5 bucks to I think I am going to turn it into something of a sports pub type idea with fitness area maybe even a dart board or a little wet bar. With the wood stove going it would be a really nice place to spend the evening. So I need to find a couple of comfy chairs and get a couple that I have recovered. Definitely need to pull it all apart and do the toss, freecycle, store, put away where it belongs and keep piles. See where I am for what and decide on what I want to find, fix and figure.
