This week's challenge

May 15th, 2006 at 07:54 pm

DH and I did fairly well with the loose end projects last week. The insulation installed, and FREE with all those gift cards, will be a nice savings.

So for this week...we are going to mulch our own yard.

Sound easy? Consider two acres, 100 yards of mulch to spread.

But, we've paid $2700 each year for the last two years to have someone else do it! Now that we are back in the savings mode, it's time to cut that down. DH has already purchased the mulch, $900 total, and a better quality than before. So, by doing it ourselves (rain permitting), we will save around $1800!

I'll be physically sore, but financially happy!

    Our credit union staff volunteered to spread mulch at a couple of city parks...oiy! was that ever a 'treat'....muscles came out of the woodwork and vowed revenge for days!

    But when we were done....talk about a great feeling...it made a huge difference in the appearance of the parks...and the results lasted a long time...so enjoy the pain...and enjoy the fruits of your hard labor all season!
