More Sunshine and Repairs

Gainesville, FL



We woke up to another beautiful warm day.  My flowers are doing well being out in this warm and sunny weather.  One of my rose bushes has a bloom and several buds that will be blooming before long.  Several of the leaves that fell off when we back in Illinois during a cold spell are coming back.
 
After i got my dishes done and picked up some it was time to head outside and enjoy the great outdoors.  I have another job to do .. see these boards they need to be painted so I’m doing that today.  I used both my outdoor tables as a work bench.  I put bags on my good table to prevent it from getting messed up.  My other table is going to have to have a new paint job as i got stain all over it.  I believe these are being prepared for a hand railing.

I forgot to get a finished picture.  The boards were painted white on all 4 sides and i put 2 coats on.  These steps are falling down and needed braced up.  See the jack temporarily holding up the braces to hold up the steps.

While the steps were being braced up the bottom step fell apart.   
  
2 new boards and the steps are back together. 

Finished progress

Can you see where we are parked at cross the street?  This is really a nice big area and it’s free!  Mooch docking isn’t a bad deal.
 
I enjoy seeing the palm trees.  This area in Florida has most tree with the Spanish moss hanging from them and i think they are neat looking as well.  Gainesville seems to be a really wooded area and it gives you the rustic feeling and not like your actually in town.
   
Here is a picture of last weeks work, see how the new legs look .. not bad if i say so myself.  The stain color wasn’t a perfect match but it’s what they had and when you are on a tight budget you make do of what you have.

It’s been another beautiful day and we are really enjoying our winter.   Being able to be outside and enjoy the warmth of the sunshine is wonderful as well as it’s great for aching bodies.
