What have I been doing the past 7 days ????? I did spent a lot of time cleaning up and reorganizing my garage  I move the boat and motor home around to get ready for the big push to complete the boat project. I finally got the bottom fish pond cleaned out (ugly) now ready to do some pond features etc some golfing of course

While cleaning up the garage I pulled apart chimney from the wood burning fire place I have in the garage for winter heat as you can see it needed the pipes cleaned Which I did 

cleaned

a little sute in the pail

Today April 13th Susie took Sara for a walk on the beach

OH that ugly pond business pulling out all the pond rocks and about 6 old tennis balls plus all the over grown plants

Whats left is gooey pea soup sludge

About the last 40 gal. of stuff had to be pail ed out Which Stuart helped with hauling away to a spot for drying out (good compost later)

Hank came for a visit

Last couple of days weather crappy but still in the cleanup mode met with our friends on Friday at our local pub to catch up o normal stuff always fun I managed another golf game 9 holes at our local course plus my normal routine reuse store Costco etc plus today back in cleanup of garage still a lot to do in motor home before that's complete but a few breaks in between I did managed to get top pond cleaned out ready to move pond fish waiting for sun to come out they went back hiding

While at the reuse store I came across this barbacue for 30 bucks so i picked it up for Tracy and Stuart this picture shows how I have cleaned up one side works great plus a side burner (works)

this side before cleanup

Of course the bottom will be cleaned up

While cleaning up garage Sara was after me to play ball then she went into crawl space started barking and sure enough she found a ball from about 2 years ago which I had to get on my hands and knees to dig outof a hole under a pallet

After playing with that ball back down again and dug out 2 more balls in the same area she sure has one hell of a sniffer

Mar. 26th till today April 3rd catch up time

Well 26th slept in so got the latter boat from Port Angeles 2.00 pm. No problems at the Canadian border got through rush hour traffic in Victoria drove like a mad man and got home before dark around 7ish stayed in motor home that night too tired for any thing else. next day started to empty motor home while Susie set up the house I must have packed in about 20 big boxes for her to unload plus at least 1000 lbs of clothes ??? kidding We spent a couple of days doing this plus getting settled in Tracy and Stuart came and spent a day helping out with yard cleanup after this stuff still unloading ( still not finished ) also have got into a big project cleaning out fish pond plus into all the paper work for in com taxes etc but I still managed one golf locally so far We have had a few days of Sunny weather but raining today
