My drive way was to the left of that trash bin, with a designated parking pad up there.

Now, it is like this:

I intend to have that gravel (it's called Crush & Run) between the cross ties. As of now, you can drive in, make a turn and drive back out.
This will also reduce the amount of grass and wisteria I will have to deal with

THIS↑ was just outside my back/kitchen door.

These pavers were inside the garage, not doing anything and almost buried, so I put them here. We had some very heavy rains last night.
Seems I was successful

I have a family member who has begun acting (as extras so far) in various movies and TV shows. She lives 300 mi south near our home town, and asked if she could stay here (basically just sleep here) and did so on my couch.
I have two bedrooms not being used, so she donated a bed and chest of drawers, which meant I had to do some quick rearranging, as that bedroom had been a catch all "Put it here until I decide what to do" room. So it went from this

I had another friend donate this nice marble top table

I dug out (found where I'd put it) a surveillance camera I bought about a year ago to spy on the maintenance people at the apartment in Smyrna.
I just set it outside my bedroom as an experiment.


So I've gotten a lot done, but a WHOLE lot more needs to be done.
We even found the remains of an OUTHOUSE in the woods behind my place, on my property

Sort:  

I built an outhouse a few years ago. It was out near the fire pit where my daughter had parties. We'd hang a lantern in it on the nights of parties.

Old cedar fencing and reclaimed tin. Worked great.

I went out there myself today, for the first time I actually climbed over and through some vines, underbrush and brambles. I don't know how my niece did it before, she was with us but I didn't see her climb like I had to.
I had considered trying to SAVE this structure, but there is no hope of that.
I may consider rebuilding it, more accessible and newer stuff, but looking authentic
