Hello there

This skylight might not get taken care of today, as apparently the wrong one was sent out...we'll see...

Classic...

Really comforting to know that someone was finishing off a cold one as they finished repairs on the roof at some point in Clearydome history...This is from the very peak of the roof, taken from outside as I assessed the insulation situation...

Hit the deck...

Some detail shots from the decking, which is the old-school 1x6x10 rather than the 4x8 style of the "modern era..."

Live updates from the Clearydome

NY Times has nothing on the Clearydome publications department, live coverage division...

The roofers showed up early, and got right to work today...

Mulch-tastic

Finally got the chance to mulch the place, and didn't bother with the bags from Lowes, going instead right to the source for 4 cubic yards of "Mock Cypress." What a decision with the radical color change.



It took two trips with Rusty to get it all, but despite the big pile, ended using it all...although in the future, I might just opt to have it "delivered." Don't tell that to Rusty, though. I don't want him to feel like he's not needed...

Introducing the Raincatcher 4000

Thanks to Nana for these two rain barrels, with a shout out to K man for the installation assistance, as some gutter-engineering was required...

Hopefully these will keep a couple parts of the yard from becoming "Full time puddles"

That was quick

The two trees out front came in pretty fast; Took a shot before leaving for a race, and then one soon after getting back...although there were two weekends in between, still quick to come in...

Update-Made in the shade

We needed to do some field testing on the new hammock, and wanted to present the users point of view...

Best-smelling

More springtime color

Dome in bloom...

On-line poll

Well, there has been a lot of polling going on here in Indiana with the primary coming up, so to that end...thought we'd get into the spirit with a poll @ a tree.

The pine tree has been nominated for removal, with an oriental maple slated to go in there instead...

Made in the shade...

The fence move created a perfect new spot for a hammock, since before the two trees were separated by the fence. Hopefully this will be a nice shady spot when it gets warmer out...
