I was "busy" in my office perusing Facebook and looking at some funny videos one cousin had posted when my wife appeared in my office. She said put your shoes on, I need you outside for a few minutes. Yea right. First we played Joe Walsh and played Ordinary Average Man and picked up dog doo, hoping it was hard. Then I was allowed to replace some edging around the flower bed along the front of the house. It runs from the edge of the house all the way to the front porch. Of course it is not just a straight shot, the windows are offset in the guests room to make an attractive feature from the street. There is a sidewalk that runs next to the house all the way way around the house. We can literally walk around the house and never get off of concrete.
Anyway the sidewalk has three 90 degree corners and so does the flower bed. That means the new metal edging has to have some bends. Golly what fun. And they have to be precise, or the bends don't fit the concrete. So a Sharpie, and a 90 degree square ruler and a hunk of a 2x4 to bend the metal around. The hardest one was a Z like shape with two 90 degree angles of opposite directions bends. Only 40 feet more to go!
