Our Chico adventure is over...we've moved back into our house in Medford. It didn't seem like our house because it was soooo dirty and neglected. Nothing that 3-weeks worth of work (so far) couldn't fix, so it's been head down, butt up for both Jack and I about 10-hours a day. Fun times washing windows, walls, doors & woodwork, having carpets steamed & deodorized, peeling cardboard off the walls where Mark's boxes stuck...
But the best time of all was had scrubbing the hardwood floors with scotch brite pads, watching the grease & grime roll up in little black balls on my mop and then putting down coats of sealant. Apparently the Neanderthal dragged his feet and never checked the soles of his shoes when he came in from the shop (which is also a greasy mess). GREAT TIMES!
The other fun place to be was the yard. Seems that when I told Mark, "Whatever you do, please don't use any weed killer on my yard..." he heard, "WEED KILLER, UH use lots and kill everything!" So my 8-years of naturalized landscape are gone and all that is left aare dead plants and LOTS OF WEEDS! Yes, the naturalized poppies kept most of the weeds out but now there are no poppies and solid weeds. I have had to replace a few plants and just tore out the others that bit it. So now I've spent 5-hours in the front yard, with about 15 more hours to go just to get the weeds out.
