So today is Friday and as it turns out, it's also the NHL Stanley Cup finals. To celebrate game 7, the director of our facility is letting us out early. Out here the game will be starting at 4pm, so we're all heading out around 3-3:30. Pretty cool. It helps that she is a die hard hockey fan =P It seems many people in Fairbanks are.
I'm hoping to get quite a bit done this weekend. I really need to clean up the downstairs area at the house. It seems permanently under construction. Since my folks are coming up in a few weeks it seems better to go ahead and get some of this knocked out sooner rather than later.
There's a couple outdoor projects that need to get some traction as well. During the breakup, where all the snow and ice melt, our driveway was completely flooded. Since the drive is all gravel I've been thinking about having some more gravel dumped and spread around in an attempt to raise it. Maybe next year my little civic won't be swimming as bad.
Last weekend I tore through the backyard with the lawnmower, clearing out all the overgrowth. It seems the previous owners didn't do much in the way of yard care. It was looking like nature had reclaimed the land. The mower blasted most of the knee-high growth out so this weekend will be all about raking and preparing it for proper tilling. I just want to turn the soil over and start fresh. Heh, will need to put some before and after photos up to show the difference.
