What made me smile today is, I’m not what you would call a “Fruit Guy”, but cracking into the NEW Flavorah flavors, has me digging the Apple Razz. Too bad I can’t spell for shit, and my first entry into the database (don’t tell @TorturedZen) I borked up, with a typo !!!
Apple Razz !!!

I’m celebrating already! 
Just living there will be a joy in itself. That garden will be unrecognisable when spring comes.
My hands are itching.

This picture of the backyard is a little deceptive. It looks like there’s a fence and a door, but that is from the neighbour opposite.
There’s a little alley that leads to the gate in the back. Meaning the place was wide open.
The dog is used to walk in and out and I don’t want her to end up in someone else’s garden or something. So my first priority was closing that off without too much hassle and high expenses. Those fences are a lot of work and turn out quite expensive.
So I came up with something else.
The hedges will grow and the pellet they were brought in is going to be used to make a door, so I can use that piece of sheep fence, functioning as a door right now, for something else.
I bought 10 of them. 7 were enough for the back, so I had 3 left over to put in the front garden for a little privacy on the side. exactly like I had in mind. 
Better pictures will follow when the place is done up.

Just finished watching the live stream for Police State. WOW! I was already aware of about 90-95% of what was happening, but I loved how concise the movie was in tying together all the segments, from A to B and then from A to Z, to where you can understand the BIG picture. I would rank this documentary movie #1 or #2 of all his documentary movies. I just ordered the DVD. I especially loved the live Q & A session at the end. I highly recommend you and everyone else to watch this!

Had a little go at cleaning the tiles today. I can’t believe how weak I still am. Everything I want to do is a lot harder than it was before I got ill.
I had to ask for help to dig the holes to put the hedges in. I used to do that stuff myself before.
Helped set up the communal vegetable garden in the area years ago. Lugging heavy stones around, digging holes, you name it.
I barely made any headway and was exhausted.
I bought anti slip coating to put on the stairs after they’re done up.
I don’t want to break my neck slipping off. Looking at the work I have to do on that, I fear they might kill me anyway, just fixing it up.
I’m still smiling though!

Glad you are smiling and that you are adding an anti-slip coating to those stairs. Gotta say, that staircase looks darned cool.

Nowhere near as cool as it is going to look when I’m done with it.

I managed to scrape off most of the sticky muck on the stairs this afternoon. There must’ve been carpet stuck to it.
Now it’s about ready for the sanding machine. I had to order one, so I hope it comes soon.

Is it just me or does this spiral staircase not look structurally sound?!

Looks good!
It’s just you the wall is not round but the centre of the spiral is - both are connected to each other, so looks sound to me
