I'm Getting Too Old For This......
Please pass me the Tylonol....been putting all this backyard work off too long....time to take down the Ligustrums.....we actually hired someone to do it but today decided he was taking to long to get to it so we jumped in ourselves....felt good to be outside working.....I went out at first to just raise the TV wire to my man cave....it had fallen off the nail on the pole....this is how the day ended up....I still have to remove the stumps....
Still gotta clean up and get rid of all the old pool stuff.....
Storms finished off my fence....it has to come down and hauled to the street....
Gotta trim the suckers off the oak tree and dig up the stump from a copus palm....
Didi trimmed the Sago Palms.....
Raised the sat. wire to my mancave....scary to be that high on a ladder.....
This is where the in ground concrete pool used to be....
Exterior decorations.......
Guard Cat.....
Past hurricane blew a tree limb across our old cast iron bell & broke it....need to get it welded back....
Another use for duct tape.....the old dish antennae was attached to the fascia board and it rotted away....when I removed the dish it left a big hole so I taped it up till we can replace the board.....already bought the board (30 ft) just got to paint it & install it....gotta replace some of the plywood underneath also.....
When will it end....I need to go fishing....

Wow!!! It looks like you got much accomplished today... but still have a bit left to do too. It will all be finished one day... at least that's exactly what I keep telling myself about all the huge projects I have going on. There's nothing you can do but just keep chippin' away at it until one day when you can sit back and look at it and be thankful that it's finally behind you.
Nice looking place brother.

best thing to do is just go fishing and get to the projects when you can, instead of vice versa. time you get thru with all the projects, you will be dead and I will have caught all your crappie

Buddy I feel your pain or at least mine since I'm doing some of the same stuff. It does give one a sense of accomplishment and a good excuse to go fishing.

Great job Bruce and Didi, as I imagine she did more than her share. Now I wish mine was all done, but Linda keeps wanting to go fishing. It's hard to ignore her wishes.
