Jamey's Yard

June 2021

  1. Retaining Wall - this has slowed down immensely, not only because of the rain but for I dont know what other reasons - but it has slowed down. Work is to begin again on June 16 and should be getting close to completion by June 18. That is not going to happen because there are several days of ground grading, and clean up and I do not see this all being cleaned up in a day or two. My neighbors would really appreciate this getting completed.
  2. Pool - Work was started this week (June 14) and it is going to be very slow as there are several levels of repair to be done. I am estimating July 5 at the soonest to be completed and I will be satisfied if EVERYTHING is done and cleaned up by Aug. 1
  3. Landscaping began on June 15. This could be the best value and the most on time project we are doing. I certainly hope so. We are getting a new rock edge (on the inside of the sidewalk) and a metal edge (on the outside). Some drainage work is being done as well.
  4. Windows - No word recently from the window man, I'm not counting him out yet, but it's not looking good.
  5. Sprinkler system - bad mojo for the sprinkler system. I bought a new controller because I knew the old one was fried. JC came and hooked up the controller, but there were problems with valves in the yard that we cannot locate. C came over and located 8 valves, but cannot complete the job. Four contractors from the Good Contractors list said they would not come to Crandall. Mike said he would work on it and he will get back to me on June 16 to let me know for sure, but he has us down to work on it on June 28. This is going to end up costing more than the original system.
  6. Shop bathroom - DM has us on his calendar for the shop bathroom. I'm counting on some time in August.
  7. Hole filling and bush removal - I talked to RS yesterday and he is going to try and remove two sets of bushes and fill tree holes and misc low spots this weekend June 19-20. I'm looking forward to a good job from him.
  8. Garage Cleaning - I cleaned a little bit last week. Need to throw some more stuff away and organize a little.
