Why I love my new house

[DeeBye]

I'd take the junipers over the astroturf porch anyway, personally. Is that astroturf or green paint? Might be worth checking out what's underneath that, too.

Ugh, I hate that too. It doesn't bug my wife too much, but I think it looks retarded. It's green indoor/outdoor carpeting (or astroturf). Underneath is solid concrete, which I kind of like. I want to rip it up too, but it's glued down with some pretty hefty construction adhesive. When I get some free time (haha!) I'm going to try to remove some of it from the side and see how clean I can get the concrete underneath. My fear is that the glue residue is permanent. Hopefully a power washer can remove all traces.

Just to the right of my front door is where I would really like to put a Muskoka chair.

I've always wanted a Muskoka chair. They are so damned comfortable.

I won't do any of this stuff until next spring. Prettying up my yard isn't on the top of my agenda, and it's kind of senseless to do it this late in the year before the snow starts flying.

Back on topic, I am really loving my internet connection here.
