My husband was off work today, so we decided to go to the local home show — 100+ vendors and companies ready to give estimates on anything you could possibly want for your home. We got several ideas and left with the following plans:
*Landscaping for the entire back yard, including plants, pavers, and water features.
*Sunroom/4 Season addition, which will be the new exercise and workout room, complete with a spa hot tub.
*Fire pit and gathering area, with sitting area and a dining table, which will also serve as an outdoor grill area.
*Patio sliding door and new windows
*Masonry project with 2 new columns for the front patio (brick on the bottom, tiered to a designed column that matches the roof color)
*Lawn mowers (two: one for the front yard and a riding mower for the back yard)
Anything else we need? Oh, yeah. A few extra jobs to pay for all of this! LOL! We had a good time, and that was the point of this Saturday. Now we are home, enjoying movies on Netflix while it rains outside, and we are fine with what we have.

Thanks for adding some humor to the many slices I have read today. I like your last line, “we are fine what we have.”

Owning a home will do that to you! The other thing it will do is leave you with “finishing touches projects.” I can’t even tell you how many projects I have that are *this close* to being done that just linger because I ran out of time and steam. Maybe on summer break!

I used to love going to open houses for just this kind of fun- I could imagine it all being mine. Alas, I am a renter, and okay with that, so no home improvement tasks for me, but it sure is fun to look and dream. I like the sound of all your “plans”.
