..sick to my stomach actually. Then I think about our clients and why we send them out for a day, or a week (depending on what we’re doing to their home) so they don’t get that “feeling.”
We make messes when we do our work. Yes, you see the “before” photos – usually not so spectacular, sometimes lived in, and sometimes white walls and no furniture. Then you see the “after” photos, so clean, neat and all purty-fied. Well, I wish I could just zap ourselves into the future and see the “after” right now.
A few weeks ago I talked about our own project and showed how much work we accomplished in the last couple of years. Now that project has begun. I have to admit, I’ve been excited ’cause all I could think about was how cool it’s gonna be when it’s ALL done.
Oh, let me tell you, I’m impatient when it comes to some things – and this is ALREADY testing my patience and it’s only day 1.
bye pretty grass
So, here’s what we got done today – why my head hurts, had small moments of near tears, and a great amount of nausea.
I know, I know – it’s just dirt… and grass…
But this is the part that kind of really got me. Here’s Rocky’s house before. Mark and I built it the first year we lived here, hoping Rocky would do flips in the air and just be so very happy he had his very own house. Well…
the "DawgMahal"
He did “pose’ for us for a photo…and he would put his toys in there. Otherwise, he’d avoid it for more “open” spaces and somewhere where he could watch everything all around him. But, alas… he’s an indoor dog now.
aaaaaawwwwwwww!
I took this photo then had to leave. I don’t know if I felt sad because it’s the end of Rocky’s house, or because we spent days building it…or just because the day has been tough already.
Hey, wait a minute.... WHERE'S MY HOUSE??!?!
So Rocky and I had a long day…and Chris, the guy building our pool, says if today is bad for me then tomorrow I should find some place to go all day. So I will. I think I’ll go shopping for dog toys and pool floats. 
Awe, poor Rocky. I hope it all goes smoothly and as planned! You will have a great summer in that backyard for sure!
