Switching Gears

The first order of the day was to take down the smaller gazebo and return it to Home Depot. It was an easy project that we finished in less than an hour and had all the pieces organized and packaged in the plastic bags that I saved from the original packaging. The only thing we were missing was the box that it came in, but Home Depot didn't care and we got a full refund.

That meant that we had to modify our original plan for this area. We moved the larger gazebo back further in the space and set up the furniture. As this is a larger gazebo, the furniture we had wasn't enough, so we added another chair. The gazebo is complete, and we will be laying more pavers today to complete that phase, and then we only have the artificial grass to put down. Exact measurements for that will be taken today, and hopefully, we will finish the project by tomorrow. Without the second gazebo, we will need some kind of cover for the table and chairs we have in that area. An umbrella will most likely take care of that problem.

The Resort is beginning to fill up for the winter season as we see an increasing number of units checking in each day. While more folks are checking in each day, we lost our next door neighbor yesterday so we have an empty space next to us. That is a long story about the family that was staying there. The short of it is that they have two children, were moved to a couple of different sites during their 4 month stay, and had way too much clutter on their space and were probably asked to leave. It is another example of the management attempt to create a better (Resort) environment here.

The muscles are getting a little sore from all this physical work, so the end better come soon. It looks like the hard work and money spent will pay off though as we are pleased, so far, with the results...
