Summer chores

One more done…adding reflective paint to the posts and putting up the French house number!   I found the house number on eBay UK–a real French one!  I needed to spray some laquer on it to seal the chipped areas on the back (to prevent rust).  Then I finally went to screw it to the post and discovered the screw holes were too close to the outside edge of the 8×8 post which was, of course, not quite 8 inches wide.  Sigh.  So that meant glue up some leftover baseboard on the skinny edge to make a wide-enough back, prime, paint, then screw backing board to the post, then the numbers to the backing board!

FINALLY got the house number up on the post!

FINALLY got the house number up on the post!  That’s the first part of the driveway…a long skinny bit of land that takes you up to  our real lot, in the center of the “block”

But at last, what a concept.  I don’t have to say “There are three driveways, take the middle one, you won’t be able to see the house but we are really up there.”  Instead I can say take the driveway with the 339 on the post!  YEAH!
