Repairs & Projects

We finally got our well pump replaced so now we have water for the yard. The well is about 200 feet deep so we had to get a larger pump than we thought. 

That pipe they pulled out seemed  to go on forever. It wrapped from the back yard all the way to the street in the front yard !
 

There is a good flow of water so we hope to have a nice yard with St. Augustine grass under all these trees. Now we need to figure out the leaks in the sprinkler system and replace any broken parts.

Another thing we need to figure out is how to get rid of the whole family, ( and extended family?) of moles tearing up our yard. Any ideas, anyone?? Please! ! !

Next projects include putting the fence back up since we now have the building moved to  the back yard, putting up a patio cover and a pad of some sort, probably gravel, to park our 5th wheel on beside the house, when we move it from our old place. We still need to measure it to make sure it will fit there.

Our schedule will stay full but will take a short break while HD has a cataract removed. It came up really fast after he had a vitrectomy to remove a large unmovable floater – vitreous detachment diagnosis. The doctor told him sometimes that surgery will speed up the development of cataracts and it sure did!

We have three celebrations in the next week:  son & daughter-in-law, Mike & Lili's one year wedding anniversary; our grandson, Todd's birthday and our granddaughter, Emma's birthday! Congratulations to them all.
