Home Maintenance

Our son from Richmond, VA is spending a few days with us and helping with annual maintenance projects. He flew in yesterday and made great progress today by taking out a big old Pfitzer on the  west side of the house, pruned the Japanese Maple (as shown in the picture), and trimmed the Yew Hedge on the north side of the deck. We also did a few other things including a lot of good visiting. He has come back about this time of year for the past several to do the painting, caulking, and "carpentry work" that is so important in keeping a house in good condition. We make up a list of things each year that we feel need to be done and often he sees things that we haven't even recognized. We are fortunate in having him spend this time with us.
