Matt and Zach have been able to finish the deck!  Total spent $0.  I will post those pictures on Wednesday.

Today I split myself several times and actually got a lot accomplished. First, I worked on our taxes. I have always completed my own taxes in recent years with the help of a tax program.  This year was not good we ended up owing 3800 to the Federal government and after some deep digging, I did not find much I could do to change this.

Next up I decided it was a good day to start working toward our garden, so I needed to clean out the greenhouse. I am very happy with the results

Before

After

I was able to “find” 4 5 gallon buckets of dirt that will be put in the tomato beds after they are completely repaired.

Next a trip to the grocery store with mom, I discovered an awesome deal on soda so this is the result

Finally we added a vertical growing space to the raised beds. I did not get any pictures but will try to include in a garden update.
