Sounds like my time off! I spend a third of my days off keeping the house and yard alive for one more year! Our house was built in 1858, and is 100% wood. So if I skip any maintenance like sanding and painting window sashes, the repair bill for replacement, reminds me what a little provention is worth!
IC2 I'd misss the 30x45 pole barn too!
But not the 7 acre mowing!
New septic is not glamerous, but well worth the trouble! I also like the killing two birds with one stone approach!
I hope that the economy takes a turn for the better very soon. On the news yesterday the rate of forclosures on retired people is climbing. It makes me so sad to see people work so hard their whole lives and then get devastated in retirement.
