Greetings! Just stopping in to let you know how OTT (Operation Townhouse Transformation) is going. It’s moving along!
Three days ago I awoke to four guys yucking it up in my backyard. After I got over my initial heart attack and vision of Husband coming home from work to find his wife (not like he left her) in the bath tub (I watch too many bad made-for-TV movies), I realized it was the concrete guys! (Note to contractors: A little notice is helpful, yes?) They were here to start the “backyard transformation.” We are replacing the builder’s idea of terrace (read: concrete slab, 8 feet by 14 feet).
I managed to throw on clothes just before they started up the jackhammer. It took them only three hours to jack up the old icky slab. Then, of course, they left. For two days.
But, no matter. Yesterday, they returned to haul away all the concrete junk, mark off the new terrace, pull up the sod and put down some gravel and rebarb. On Monday, they pour the new “slab” and color and stamp it. Voila! Instant flagstone terrace lookalike.
Of course, now we need new patio furniture. And, flower beds. And, matching ceramic pots for the plants. And, cute lights. And, I’m sure I’ll come up with more.
Husband is sighing. I wonder why?
