The house behind us is getting fixed up to be sold. We don't have a fence between our backyards and he decided to landscape his backyard. He also did a bit of ours to try to level it and my husband rented a ditch witch to finish off leveling our backyard. But getting someone to dig & set fence posts is almost impossible. I must have phoned almost a dozen companies. Only two came out and gave us quotes.. expensive quotes. This was back in July. We found out then that everyone is doing home improvements and contractors are in high demand and can pick & choose what jobs they want. Plus lumber was 2-3 weeks on backorder. Needless to say we still do not have fence posts in. At least the backyard is level now.
In the meanwhile, the front porch became my sanctuary. In June I scrubbed and cleaned it up. Ordered new thick comfortable cushions for the chairs. Flowers in the garden and hanging baskets. Ohh I scored these hanging baskets for FREE! I also found glass candles to hang off the porch railing! I have loved sitting out here for the past two months reading a book, having a drink or tea and playing games on my phone. Next year the porch itself needs a recoat.
