TT's New Home

The week of October 6th was a busy week lining up workers to remove and haul away a shed and installing new gate doors to the fence so that we can park the trailer trailer behind the fence. This was what the area had looked like with the shed.

The roses made the shed look pretty. But truth be told, the shed was rotting away at the base, and the shed was at a point of needing work or being torn down. So, no great loss except for the climbing rose.

We were not able to pick up TT until October 9th; so, that gave me time to do some work of ripping out plants in the front side. This was some of the plants that were removed.

This photo was from last year when we were not in a severe drought. The plants were not as pretty looking when I removed them. So, don't sigh and think she is nuts. Since the plants didn't look very pretty, it was very easy to remove them. This is what it looks like right now, but later I will landscape with my favorite no-mow, low, ground cover dymondia margaretae aka silver carpet. I plan to put down plastic pavers that can be filled in with dirt and the silver carpet. That will look better than filling the area in with concrete.

 

The best little TT had to sit out front for two days while the fence work was being done. Here she is waiting to be parked beside the house.

Once the fence work was done, we then had our first challenge of backing the TT into the spot beside the house. That took about an hour. Backing up into a snug spot isn't easy. My husband did an excellent job for first time backing!

This is how TT looks from the street. Yup! The best TT is sitting in that snug spot waiting for our first outting.
