Filthy, tired and hurting, but happy.......

I spent Tuesday in the garden, doing all sorts of jobs.  Took me two hours just to clean out one of the flower beds; that's what you get  when you don't weed your gardens all summer!!

I got three yards of soil back in the spring and only used part of it, so now it's all weed infested, so I took four trailer loads and put that in the flower garden, got a lot more to move.  Cut some branches off a couple of trees, so I don't get whacked in the head when I drive past on the tractor.

Plus I cut some more grass, not much as I don't have much gas.  However by 8pm last night I went to bed to lay down as my back was killing me. 

Here I am on Wednesday morning and I'm afraid to say I don't feel too much better.  My poor back is not happy, so I am guessing no more digging today.  I will pop into town to get my gas tanks filled for the tractor and will at least get the rest of the grass cut as I don't have to bend down to do that.  Then hopefully by Thursday my back feels a bit better and I can do some more digging.  Just pleased I managed to get something done in the garden for a change.

What have you all been up too?

Writing this on Thursday night........

My dad came over on Thursday and we worked down the "new" basement taking up some of the glued down 1974 lino tiles.......a lot harder job than we originally anticipated.  We got what I wanted done, so that was good.  We even started to pull out the nails and screws out of the beams on the ceiling and walls.

Dad is a great worker and he is a hard worker.  Meanwhile I am pooped and am hobbling around as my back is killing me.  However dh is really pleased with what we did and it has saved him a full day's work. 

This Saturday he is going to finish of doing some prep work. The prep work takes longer than the actual job itself.  He has to work on Sunday.  Then the following Saturday we need to put the tar paper on the walls...........not sure why we are doing this but we are.  Then I hope the following Saturday we will be putting up the stud walls and the following Saturday insulating.

Dh generally has a Saturday off but seems to be working most Sundays at the moment, as well as Monday through Friday, he too is a super hard worker.

Meanwhile it's 8pm at night, and I am heading to my bed, to see if laying down helps my back.  Hoping a good nights sleep will do my back a world of good, it generally does.............

(P.S. haven't dealt with the computer/photo problem yet, haven't had the time yet)

UPDATE:

Friday morning and after a nights sleep my back is good again, thank goodness!
