IDK what has gotten into G. I walked him around the front with my drawings and explained what I wanted to do. He was VERY receptive. Then he looked up and noticed the poor condition of the fascia boards and soffits on the house.
G - The house sure needs to be pressure washed and painted
Me - If you start up the pressure washer I can do that. We will need to hire someone to paint.
G - HMM - it will need to be repainted in a few years. Maybe we should just put in vinyl siding on the fascia and soffits.
Me - Brilliant idea. We do need to have that done before re-doing the landscaping.
G - you are right
Me -
(wanted to ask him how THAT tasted in him mouth but controlled myself)
Landscaping on hold. New project is to get estimates for the siding.
Now if he would only come up with the idea that his office needs to be cleaned out and organize. That is probably asking too much - at least for now.
Please don't get the wrong idea. G is a very generous, loving man. I am the slow leaner. It took me way too many years to realize that it has to be his idea. DUHH!
It is going to be a busy spring/summer. I may have to wait until fall for the beds but that is OK. I HATE pressure washing but can deal with it. I can not get on a ladder to paint . In our climate even the best prep, priming and paint does not last. WAY too much humidity.
Anyway - Love my man and looking forward to some much needed home improvements.
You are right about that. Low maintenance beds would definitely make it easier for me to keep up.
