I bought this at Home Depot and I absolutely love it.  The sales guy showed it to me and I said “oh, it’s not that cute” – he laughed and said “ma’am it’s a wheelbarrow” – I laughed and said “well, maybe I could put some stickers on it”.  Yes, I’m a dork, but come on – why are tool things not cuter!! 😉  It’s a bit pricey buttt it’s soooo easy to maneuver and the part that sold me on it was that I can tip it up to unload it and it stays up.  Great for moving anything and it’s big, lots of room for plants, mulch, tools or even concrete. I just load it up and go – saves me several trips back and forth from the barn.  Here’s the link if you’re interested: http://tinyurl.com/lrdjy32

In between rain showers on Saturday, Chance (my GC) came over and demo’d the concrete for the foundation wall.  We rented the jackhammer from Home Depot.  Now we wait . . . we need a few days without rain so we can excavate and pour the foundation wall.  Just to be clear, whenever I say “we” I actually mean Chance, LOL.  😉

It’s been rainy on and off all week and in Colorado “Mother’s Day Weekend” is the time you go and buy your plants and flowers.  It’s usually safe from freezing at night after Mother’s Day.  I just signed up for Home Depot’s “Garden Club” they have tips for your specific area and coupons!  Who doesn’t love coupons!  After you sign up, you get $5 of your next $50 just in time for this weekend!  Here’s the link & Happy Mother’s Day ladies!!

Demo on the back porch has begun.  Chance is my son’s best friend and we’ve known Chance since Jason was in high school.  Chance is the Assistant GC for a big construction company here in the Denver area and he’s helping me with my addition.  We had to demo the little back wall which was cinder blocks & railroad ties, then the side walls came down.  Chance is cutting the concrete because we have to dig out a section for a stem wall and footers.  We were hoping to rent the Mini-Excavator this weekend to start digging but it’s raining all week, so we may have to put that off for a bit! POOOOOO!!!!

P.S. Yes ladies, in case you’re looking . . . Chance is single, 30 years old and a great guy! Just sayin!! 😉
