Next Stop, Condo

The Mrs. has put up the work-in-progress that is the Renovation From Hell.
I keep trying to take “before” pics of the back yard, but the camera lens keeps breaking. I’ve described it as “Stalingrad circa 1942”, but I was being too harsh… on Stalingrad.
And that shale that needed spreading? I managed to do about 50 sq ft, and collapsed. Fortunately, the Son&Heir came home from work, so I made him fill the wheelbarrow and dump, while I raked. Threats of violence were involved (from him to me, afterwards—especially when I told him that we’re going to do it again).
If we win the lottery in the next few days, I’ll publish a pic with a prominent sign reading: “As Is” with a teeny price underneath. I’ll take offers on my cell phone.
In a condo. In Monaco.
