This isn't Neon related...

We have never been too picky about content in this section.

I'm not too far from Westminster, probably an hour and a half. I'm a little north of Baltimore.
I keep telling myself that the next time I am in Indy for more than an hour that I'm going to give you a call and have lunch, but so far I've flew into Indy and then left for Kentucky withing an hour or so.

Hey, I'm about 20 minutes away from the airport and there's always the food court in the terminal... PM me in advance- I have my phone turned off in the daytime when I'm asleep.
Your yard work is really looking good. Are we going to get before/work in progress pics of the interior?

There isn't really much to do interior wise since the house was a complete refurb. We did paint the walls, but other than that there isn't really anything.
One day when we get it all clean (so on Aug 13th

) I'll take pics of the inside and such.

Took out a large annoying bush that has been rubbing on my Neon since we moved in.
Now I won't have an many leaves on the Neon and it will be a little easier to mow around.
This bush had grown into the fence really bad in some places.
Pics to come in the morning.

Delayed pics:
You can see what this bush used to look like in these pics:
Now it looks like this:
I have to do some more clean up to try and get everything out of the fence and hopefully dig up all the roots.
Yesterday we spent most of the day hacking into the mess and ended up with this:
It's official, our backyard was used as a dumpster. We have found shoes, a wallet with keys, a bike, a crutch, and cups, just to name a few.

I don't know what's going on with that pano. It should be the same size as the one from page 2.

Eh, as long as you don't find anything that was breathing at one time...

Not yet, but we were talking about that yesterday and really hoping that we wouldn't find a body
That would have definitely put a hold on our progress.

I am finally getting everything sorted out for a shed. I have the actual shed all picked out. I'm figuring out what I will need for the electrical, building a loft and putting up insulation and walls.
I am now over budget.

My shed order has been sent to the builders.
Delivery: August 6

You're having one built? I thought you were planning on buying material and building it yourself.
Posted: Tue Jul 13, 2010 9:15 pm
by racer12306
I don't have that kind of time.

Ah. Am I mistaken or was that the plan though?

I had thought about it for a while but I don't have many free weekends.

Ahhh, ok. Perhaps we talked about it on AIM at one point then...

Less than one week til delivery.
Mods for the Shed
1. build an 8' loft. This will be built the day it is delivered.
2. Get a horse mat from Tractor Supply Co to park the mower on so that I can do the minor work to it without getting stuff on the floor (4'x6' for $38 FTW)
3. Build a work bench.
4. Start on the electric. This will probably be done in pieces mainly due to time. I'll probably get the handi-boxes and the romex and do that and so on.
5. Make a pad (hopefully out of all the brick that is sitting in my backyard) for an air compressor and then make a little housing for it. Also need to run some pipe for the air. I'm going to have a couple outlets. I'm figuring one near the main door for filling tires and such, one for an airbrush and another near the work bench.
6. Put up walls and fully outfit the walls with signs and such.
I will start with a few signs but not all because there probably won't be room. I also will have a Neon wheel to make a hose reel.
