This should be the last week I have to deal with cutting the grass and weed wacking the yard. As much as I like having a nice looking yard, I really hate to spend so much of my weekend doing mowing and other maintenance.

I’m thinking about getting gutter guards to cover up the roof gutters and keep the leaves out this year. I had to climb up on the roof twice last year to clear the gutters - they were clogged so bad when we did get some rain the water was going all over the place.

Looking at pulling all that old wood soffit off and putting up vinyl instead. Not sure I have the money in the budget for all that right now, but I’m pretty sure by this time next year I’ll need it done.
