I have been really tired lately, so Rick did all of the backfilling around the pavers earlier this week. We still need to smooth things out a bit and to plant grass, but that will be the last step in this whole process.

I have spent part of the last two days just deleting photos from my computer and putting the rest into albums so that I can easily find a specific picture if we need it for reference. I am the type of person who takes pictures of wires or plumbing hanging in open walls, or who takes shots of a tape measure showing how far the drainage pipe is buried from the driveway. One never knows when odd pictures like that become valuable. Hopefully, our days of opening up walls in Gladys are behind us.
Today we tackled the garage. That actually is an easier task than it sounds since we only have a one car garage. Limited space means we could only store so much stuff until something had to go. Since we hopefully are finished will all of our major projects, we can get rid of some of the left-overs that we know we no longer need.
We took down a lot of crap from the top of the garage and have it bundled and ready to go out to the garbage on Sunday night. The 2x4s that we have been using for various projects now are cut into 4 foot lengths so they can hit the curb. Chris suggested that someone might want the wood for their fire pit since wood is so scarce down here. I hope so. I would love to see it all go. Still, we probably will have to limit how much we put out each week, but it all should be gone before we head north in another five weeks. Pray for garbage scavengers on the lookout!
Gladys is finally to the point we envisioned she might be when we purchased her. We started the hard work in 2011, and we have worked each year since that time making the changes necessary to make her a good home.
