Chore List Update

Back in mid-July, I offered an update on my chore list.

Things have not improved.

Well, they actually have. I've gotten more chores done. But the list keeps getting added to, which is the nature of lists, so it feels like not much progress has been made.

Behold:

A major - and expensive - list removal involved the $1,500 we paid to have the spruce tree in the front yard taken down. I'm still working on getting the wood from it chopped into bits, but the tree is indeed gone, leaving me a rather massive chore for next summer, mainly reconfiguring the space where the tree was. That'll involve removing some roots that are in the way of pavers and popping up in the yard, and cleaning all the gravel I put under the tree, sorting it from the needles and other gunk. I mean, I guess I could just get new gravel. But part of me really objects to the thought of throwing away rocks.

I'm actually tossing this list and starting a new one. It's just too scribbled to read anymore.
