Nothing fun this weekend. Just working to keep my/our mind(s) off of possible unemployment. The emotional rollercoaster remains. There are only nine more days of work. Ten actually, but damn if I'm not taking off next Friday too.
So yesterday we cleaned up the western perimeter of the property. I don't know it was really ever done before. We cleared out some of the brush along the sidewalk and then lopped off the overhanging branches. It is probably unnoticeable to the anyone else but us and the few people who walk up the hill. It was nice to get some validation for the work. While we were doing it some guy stopped to thank us, as he walks it daily and thought it was great that someone took the time to work on it.
The maps below show our house (the actual house in the top pic. The arrow in the bottom pic is on the wrong side of the street). We cleared all the way to where the M is in Martin. Yes, it's a big lot and I know MLK is a major street, but man motorists are pigs. I picked up what I'm guessing is between 20-25 lbs of trash. Mainly empty bottles of hootch. You know - the smaller rectangular ones that TV bums seem to drink out of. I easily found 15 of those. At some point we'd like to clean up the hill, leaving enough coverage not to easily see the house, but to know that someone lives there and it is well cared for.
