It's good to have some focus, and the mental conversations too. It takes us off off tangents sometimes but can also h lpnusborder things as well, like with your decking.
Trashy but fun. The operative word being fun. Seems like it worked out and you're back on track. ✅
I AM back on track. I worked a bit this morning and then fed myself and started chores. I've also been gathering bits and pieces that I already have here, from different areas of the house and carport and taking them back to the porch. Meanwhile, I've been mulling over what other things I would like to add that I will need to purchase. I'll being going to Mom's tomorrow and if it is not scorching hot, I may check out her shed and see if she has anything that looks like it could be used as whimsical art.... and if so I may drag it home with me. We'll see !
It sounds like you're enthused and moving forward at a good rate so I'd say all is well. Maybe a post about it in the future?
Maybe so... .An almost before and after post. I don't have a plan of the end result ! No telling what will happen.
Of course we know the words "art installation" was a bit.... (or more than a bit) high sounding for what it will actually be, but that's ok.
Sometimes that's the best.
