Richard added a deck entrance to our backyard with a french drain to stop the water coming off the driveway. It looks really good and will be a nice change. Hopefully the drainage scheme will work and the boards will stay clean.

The backyard is really shaping up -Scott's was here this morning putting down fertilizer and the irrigation system went on. (I still need to get them to make some adjustments since it doesn't look like it's doing a good job.) The only thing left to do is add an enclosure around the Mini Split unit and hose.

I worked on Will's computer all weekend - he did have some nasty viruses on his original boot drive. I'm now running a full backup of the computer and think everything is working well.

Rebecca is coming to visit this afternoon.

Joey woke up at 4:30 this morning - he peed and pooped - and we went back to sleep until 6 on the sofa. It's going to be a long day...unfortunately I don't "nap" all day. He had a good day yesterday and seemed to get the reward for potty, but this morning, he pooped in the family room.

It's going to be 90 today but apparently will rain the rest of the week. This will be a good test of our newly designed drainage system!

I called Tidewater Workshop AGAIN and they say the benches should be shipped this week...I ordered them on December 15, 2014...
