Grass! YARD IS DONE!! And a Gift from a Friend!!

We finally got MOST of our sod in the yard. Man it looks different back there now! Went from dirt and rocks and no fence to a FINISHED YARD!!!



This was a surprise i the mail yesterday! Signed pic by the guy who played the Jawa that shot R2-D2 in STar Wars and a signed card by the girl (yes girl) who played Greedo for some scenes.

THANKS CALVIN!!!


I got one of these Boba Fett concept figures on ebay (the US version with the Boba Fett artwork in the background. The Canadian packaging is shown on the left (got at wal-mart). It has the Vader artwork. Weird.

Fence.....DONE!!!!!!!!

I am FINALLY done the fence. This weekend I had to dig 3 holes (holy that's hard work), put in posts, mix and pour cement, frame them and board the fence from the sides to the house. I had to also build a gate and mount it.

We never did get our grass yet so we HOPE they put it in in the next day or 2.

Fence Building

Well...since I've been too busy to work on the new basement theater, R2, 3PO, or any other projects..I figured I mighgt as well post what I HAVE been working on...boring as it is...

This weekend is a long weekend so I should be able to get a fair bit done. It's supposed to be rainy, but that is not going to stop me.

The fence at the back is going to be 3' boards at the bottom with a 2' lattice above to keep it fairlyu open looking since we back onto a park/walkway. There is no point blocking that off completely.
