Well, the Fire Marshall came through today and had a look at our sprinkler system. He thought everything looked good! Hurray! Now we can start patching the ceiling! Double hurray!
We did a little work on our irrigation system in the afternoon and picked out some plants for the side yard. It currently looks a little desolate but, once we get some water up there and get some plants growing, I think it's going to be a nice little wonderland for the kids to explore. We're going to close off the whole side yard so the kids can't escape and move the playhouse to the little flat area behind the garage. It doesn't make any sense now but once the garage is gone, it will be a very nice little space.
We also worked on picking exterior paint colors. Since our stucco is riddled with hairline fractures, we are going to seal the whole building with a coat of stucco sealer. It doesn't make sense to seal the whole building in stucco sealer in the old color, may as well use the new color!
The fire marshal gave me an idea for the crazy shed that's half-way up our lot ... chicken coop! Yea! Let's do chickens! It's a good size and nicely shaded. We will need some protection for them so that they don't get eaten. My neighbor kept losing her chickens to bob cats. There's a lesson in the cycle of life for the kids!
