Running Thru Life... A busy Sunday

This Sunday we headed to Lowe's with a couple tasks:

1) Storage bin for our new cushions on our Patio.

2) Power Washer 

3) Look at lighting and mirrors for our up coming project

4) Tools to fix our backyard gate.

After approximately an hour from start to finish we were in our driveway with everything we needed.

1) Our new Storage Container for our cushions.

Up to this point I was storing them in the laundry room which was very frustrating because they were in the way.  We were waiting for them to go on sale which they did for the 4th of July week.  

I love the one we got because while it matches our patio furntirue set and appears that it is wicker but it is actually plastic with not slits in it so it will keep everything dry.  It is big enough to fit all the cushions in and some more.  

Love it!!!

2) Powerwasher

We are now owners of a powerwasher. 
Since we have lived in our home we have had to either pay someone to
powerwash something or borrow one on three separate occassions.

So we decided just to purchase one because in the long run it made the most sense and was also cheaper-  

Purchased on sale of course!!

We opted for a gas because of the reviews.  
Gas machines are a little bit more expensive but the reviews are much better.
We have had three friends now who have purchased electric ones that have broken down after 1 year of use.

I will let you know how it goes

3) Mirror and Light fixures.... future post

4) Fix the Backyard door.

The people who lived in our house before us were stupid.

Yes stupid. 

They installed the backyard latch that is not level- i.e it did not line up and was very hard to open.

Joe fixed it and I am so happy!!!

Added bonus.... Look at our garden!!!

From start to finish... everything took us two hours!!!
1 hr to and from HomeDepot
1 hr to assemble and update everything.
Happy Sunday!!
