repairs

  My brother has a 3 bedroom 2 bath rancher style home in an older neighborhood here in Post Falls. The inside is updated with stainless steel appliances, granite counters and new tile. The whole house has hardwood flooring and the bedrooms have new carpet. The backyard on the other hand is well.... it needs some tlc. There was  a big pond in the corner of the yard and my brother knew he would not keep up on the maintenance so he decided to fill it in. Well he got halfway there and never finished. The fence is falling apart and the grass is pretty dead. Also, the owners before Matt decided to put this neat brick for a patio off the deck, well it is growing moss and weeds between the brick and it looks trashy. I know it is not my job to help him fix up his house but as long as Im living here I want it to look nice. I dont mind helping at all, I like planting flowers and cleaning up the yard, it wil be good bonding for my brother and I too I think. As long as his snatch of a girlfriend isnt around to tell him what to do. She is the type that will sit on the deck with a glass of ice tea and bark orders. Gosh she repulses me. Either way Im going to have lots of projects to do before I have a bunch of people over for little man's birthday in June. This house has so much potential to be beautiful, it just needs some serious TLC!
