Since the husband wasted our entire July 4th holiday weekend rebuilding the stone wall, before his helper left on the last day… I had my revenge.
.
.
And got them to put up the two missing shutters. You know, the ones that had blown off the house 4 years ago and the husband never got around to fixing.
That’s the husband stuck in the unforgiving shrubbery under the shutters.
.
.
Getting a ladder in there was no easy task.
.
.
But together they made quick work of it.
.
.
And the (extremely old, faded, really need to be painted or replaced with new) shutters were back in place.
It didn’t totally make up for missing fireworks and alcohol fueled celebrations, but I take what I can get.

Mmmmmmmm—a little nagging about ” (extremely old, faded, really need to be painted or replaced with new) shutters ” seems to be on the agenda ahead

The gutters on the house and barn need to be adjusted, the downspout still needs to be redirected to the drain, two more stone walls are crumbling, the deck landing pavers need to be reseated, the barn porch needs to be sealed…. should I continue?

It was a small victory. And to think it only took 4 years…. sigh.

Usually homeowners paint the shutters while they’re down and THEN rehang them. Just saying.

Yes. But that would require removing, painting and rehanging eleven other sets… and I think we both know that’s not happening.

That’s OK. You guys deserve from “free time” to enjoy your barn bar.

That’s the kind of stuff I get to do by myself. I would have to figure out ladder placement, correct tools and which alcohol to consume before, during, and after….. lol

You could have kicked back with a cocktail and lit a sparkler while watching them do the work!
