(Jack)Hammer Time

I finally started my back yard renovation.  I want no watering, no weeding, nothing to do in the back yard.  I have been saving up for house renovation, which has been easy with the pandemic.  No place to go, no where to go shopping and I still have to go to the office every day.  I think I accidentally cut out the margins of my budget but it'll work itself out by January barring any emergency.

I really wanted to start with the floors.  But I can't pack up all the crap in my house because I have nowhere to put it.  My plan was to end Mom's storage unit by the end of this year, but I think the pandemic has put that off til end of next year.  Once my back yard is done, I'll have space to put some big furniture outside and make room in my garage.  Tent or no tent?  I think I would like a tent over the temporary storage.  I'm leaning away from a shed.  That's just an excuse to not throw away what I don't need in my garage.

Wow, 3 hours to get all the existing slabs out.  I didn't originally budget for that but I agree, it'll look so much better when it's homogenous.  They've already started flattening the terrain.
