Day 4 - June 22

Went out to the house around 2pm and completed the termite treatment. Tim began pulling up the front porch and then realized that the previous owner didn't build it properly... imagine that! So he took the circular saw and ran it right through the boards pulling up the first foot of area closest to the house. Now we can build a ladder into the pond with the wood :) I dug holes to plant those shrubs I was talking about earlier... it was harder than I thought. No pictures of me working, but that doesn't mean I don't help! Tim needs to post the pictures he took of me digging :) After digging holes and pulling up the deck, we headed to the back to drill holes in the concrete for treatment by the back door. Tim let me drill the last hole (again no pictures of me doing this... Mom said I needed to be supervised so Tim couldn't hold the camera). I love power tools! I also tried cutting the deck, but Tim took it back over b/c I was too slow... Today I got trash cans, a new thermostat, a sanding attachment for our Shopvac, a mailbox, outlet/switch covers, a smaller drill bit for termite treatment inside, and many many many paint chips... Can't wait to see what I learn tomorrow when we head out!
