Special offer

Sunday sunny side of the stream...and my Honey do list.

By
Managing Real Estate Broker with Alpine Lakes Real Estate Inc., NHRE# 02863

I came in for a rental showing, but promised my wife I would work on the Honey -Do-List. I made plans to go to Home Depot to get the things I needed, I have to re-build the back stairs before some fat visitor ends up on the ground. I really must get my rear in gear, and get this project started. But First a stroll to the stream, the sun was so nice and water sparkling...it's hard to do home improvements when it is this nice out.

You see my dilemma, who can go back to power tools when you would rather be off in the woods.

The biting sound of blade on wood or the rushing water of a stream...No excuses back to work.

Stream enters the Pemi River

When I went back to the garage to find the right size drill bit I spied my Hammock stored for the winter...I think I have figured out the reward when the job is done. (this is where the hammock hooks are installed)

  Enjoy your Sunday...make sure you take a little time to rest, it's Monday again tomorrow.

Ah, I could live there.  I can see how it would be hard to stay focused on chores ... or anything for that matter!

Don't invite that "fat visitor" as you mentioned in your post just yet! Go out and enjoy the day!

Fix the stairs and take care of the honey do list when it's raining out!!!

Done...3 hours of screwing around with new pressure treated lumber,,,but it is safe to go down the stairs again.

Steve, 

I have a new solution for the honey-do-list.  I call my handyman to come work on projects when my husband goes on his annual golf trip.  (Since I give a ton of work to my handyman in real estate he takes great care of me and I get my list completed.

All the best, Michelle

Steve, how about sending some of that weather down here.  It was raining and gloomy around here all day.  The good thing is it was a perfect excuse to not have to do any work outside :) :)

After seeing those pictures Steve - I agree!  It would have been very hard to choose power tools and work over the peace and calm.
