That's (not) nice

superbadgirlFreshly mowed lawn. Fresh poop on freshly mowed lawn. [insert expletive] dog owners!!
Ordered a new lawnmower - battery this time, I am so resistant to gas - and do you think FedEx driver reasoned "hey, this is a heavy piece of equipment that's probably going to end up in the garage" and put it by the garage door? NO. It was schlepped up ten steps and left on my front stoop, meaning since I didn't have time to instantly put it together, I had to drag the blasted thing (very heavy) down those same steps and around to the garage. After I cleaned up my neighbor's dog's shit off my lawn.
I need to re-grout my shower. The existing grout is not holding up, and the caulk is also getting a little discolored. The smart thing to do would be to just patch it up, but I've got it in my head to do the white tile/dark grout thing. I think it would look good. However, since I don't have another bathroom/shower I can use and I know this is a multiple day project (have to remove old grout first)...
Called for a quote on a tree removal. I have a window barely cracked on the north side of the house and the tree is blooming - the smell is giving me a headache. It will every year for about a month. I have to suck it up and get it gone. :( Also having them quote to finish the retaining wall back there. Doubt I can do that yet, but it'll be good to know what I'd have to pay a pro to do it so I can determine if I can find cheap labor elsewhere.
But now to the pet store. I ran out of dry food for the cats on Thursday. They'd like it to be 100% gushy food and truthfully, that keeps Roy occupied longer so he doesn't bump everyone else away from their bowls before they're done (funnily, no one tries to eat his food, freaking food bully!). But it's a smidge cheaper going the half wet/half dry route.
I almost adopted a one year old min-pin chihuahua mix, but then he got kennel cough and I got cold feet.
This episode in This Day of Home Improvement Projects is now over.
