clean and organize our back patio

get much more done on this now. So, I’ll mark this done.

I still have a bit ledf to do, but this will have to wait until later.

1. sort wood
2. get rid of any wood we no longer want
7. recycle box of old batteries
11. paint cafe table
12. make chair cushions

to the dump…
that helped with
4. give away the old dishwasher (went to the dump)
10. take 1 load to dump/transfer station

That pretty much only leaves the wood to sort and get rid of and the table and chairs to redecorate.

this morning…
Wow! It’s looking so much better! We just finished:
3. move the utility trailer
5. move the bike trailer
6. move metal shelf
8. sort gardening supplies & organize
9. sort sports equipment & organize

Plus alot of sweeping and throwing away junk. Our garbage can is totally full now. Luckily, they empty it on Friday. Then we’ll continue with our cleaning on the patio.

a great deal of progress already. It’s gone from junk pile to very nice play area. But I still have work to do on the back patio, on the other 1/3 of the patio. Here’s my list I made today of what I hope to get done there:
1. sort wood
2. get rid of any wood we no longer want
3. move the utility trailer
4. give away or sell the old dishwasher
5. move the bikes & bike trailer
6. move metal shelf
7. recycle box of old batteries
8. sort gardening supplies & organize
9. sort sports equipment & organize
10. take 1 load to dump/transfer station
11. paint cafe table
12. make chair cushions

this a separate goal, beyond the normal “get rid of clutter”. I’m so thrilled with my progress so far, and want to do more there. I’d like to keep working back there all this week until it’s all done. The play area looks great now, but I still need to sort my son’s toys on the shelves. I’ll take the rest piece by piece.
