Getting Stuff Done!

Owning an older house has come with it's share of delights and problems.  The gutter over the porch stair, the entrance we use the most, allows water to drain right onto the steps.  Over the winter, this froze and cracked the stairs resulting in this damage.  

This week, they came to repair the steps for me.  How grateful I was that they didn't need to tear the entire thing out but were able to remove all the damaged portion, reinforce it and repair the cracked and broken area. 

After two days work, it's looking good!  Still has a sealant layer and touch up to go as well as a few days drying.  So glad to have a proper repair job done! 

Hopefully the gutter guy will be here next week to install the new improved gutter! 

And the sprinkler system got repaired this week as well!  Lots of big little projects getting done around here! 

Another bit of enormous progress around here was sitting in my chair with my Mom's kitty "Kitzy"(the black one in front, who is usually hiding in my daughter's room, and having my other two kitties join us ~ with no altercations!  Just a lap full of purring kitties!  They have all lived together for well over a year and this was a first!  Hope they eventually are able to tolerate one another in such a way that Kitzy feels like she can wander around the house at will.
