Week 50

Inching closer to the end!

The kitchen counter got its underside trim this week::

A final patch was put in under the cabinet in the bathroom:

And the garage was cleaned out of unused materials, tools, & stuff for the dump. They also kindly swept and scrubbed the floors. I spent most of Saturday putting shelves back where they belong, and taking things out of storage. It's looking great!

On Sunday, I tried my hand at repairing a patch of broken concrete in the back yard, using what Mr. Bunkport had taught me in Week 40, when I helped him make the bathroom counter, and a tip from my dad. 

Before:

After:

We tried to get Pickles' paw print in there, but unfortunately, with our warm weather today (sorry, New Englanders) it had already set up by the time that she got back from her walk.

Mr. Bunkport also spent time this week designing a rain catchment system for the back of the house, instead of regular gutters that feed into the storm drains. The goal is to be able to use captured rainwater for the garden, instead of having to draw from the tap every time the vegetables are thirsty. Drought, you know. Depending on when the vendor gets him what he needs, it could go up next week or the week after.

Other than that system, there are a couple tiny odds & ends he's addressing, but really that's it. THAT'S IT!

Keep those fingers crossed for us, please!
