Snapshot of my summer!
A couple years ago I had a carpenter offer a quote to fence my yard. $20,000!! In that moment, I discovered I was about to learn how to build a fence! Turns out, it’s not rocket science... but it IS a real pain in the arse doing it yourself! As a female, you'll have loads of men stopping to offer their two cents but not to offer any physical labour. 🤪 Completed the project in sections over a couple years as lumber now costs the same as gold. But FINALLY fenced off at least a portion of space. Lazlo and I had a “Pants Off Dance Off” celebration party in our new back yard until I realized a neighbour has a second floor with a great view. Definitely got more than they paid for 🤣
Last year I bought paint to pretty up the outside of my 3 toned house. However, a wasp family made a home under some siding, decided they liked the sh!tty chipping paint and declared war should I change it. Flash forward this year, this one week project turned into a month as I was navigating around spontaneous rain showers, a matrix of spider webs, and my fear of heights. I'd love to post before and after pics but won't be publicly posting where I live. My current stalkers would say it looks great.
One of my bucket list items was to get my class 6. Once I found out how cheap it is to finance and insure a motorbike, it was really tough to talk myself out of once this little 125cc came on sale. Apart from driving it directly into my fence the first day, it's been going fairly well! I will continue attempting to start a Mini Moto gang...just need 4 more people! We're going to Aspen!
I didn’t get to any trips but I did have family/friends come out this way! And sometimes they let you look at their butt for an hour! (Just kidding, it wasnt voluntary)
After mucho time complaining that there is nothing to do in Coronation, I finally figured out that you just need to make your own things to do. Between creating projects, work, my dog and self-betterment in general...there's really not a lot of time to do much else anyway! And now that I'm basically a professional carpenter, you can expect more wood projects are on the way!
Lazlo is doing great 🤣
