4th of July Home Improvement

This weekend was filled with home improvement projects. Or to be more accurate, I should say that we worked on two very large projects. The first was replacing the kitchen sink. The second was weeding and mowing the back yard.

Reid spent all day on Friday and part of Saturday removing our old white enamel kitchen sink and replacing it with a new stainless steel one. He also put in a new faucet and a brand-new garbage disposal. I love my new sink and am so very grateful for the hard work he put into it.

I forgot to take a picture of the old sink before he started, but here it is out by our trash this morning waiting for the trash man.

Here's a picture of our new sink!! So pretty!!

As for the backyard, Kai and I spent about two hours pulling weeds on Saturday morning. Reid spent about an hour pulling weeds and then another two or so mowing. Our yard is so weed filled that we are actually worried about pulling all of them and opening ourselves up to erosion problems. So we had to just mow some down. Reid still plans on going out there with some fertilizer and weed control to see what we can do. We've been told that prairie dog extermination is to begin sometime this week and so hopefully with some work this summer and then next spring, we may be able to get some semblance of a yard. We'll see!
