I know a lot of guys have been growing their beards and hair out longer during Covid because of the lack of access to haircuts and all, but I have really been enjoying the process of combing out my extra long goatee and the reactions I’ve gotten from people who saw my new look. Even when I was job interviewing lately I decided that this was really me and I was not going to dye it or comb it down or minimize it. I interviewed as I look and that’s how I got hired, which is exciting.

I also took some pictures to show the accomplishment of finally getting the hot tub set up! We missed not have one for eight months!

The previous owner had an RV parked on large gravel which wasn’t very comfortable for walking on and would not have been conducive to our forthcoming hot tub and other furniture. We found a reasonable local cement company that did such a professional job and we love the new huge space of about 14’x28′ which was previously not that usable. We have lots of plans for the area above and beyond the back yard to the house which we are also enjoying a lot. Here are pictures of the progress.

Next steps: Move some of the furniture back to this area, get a permanent fix for the fence, buy a hot tub and then put a gazebo over part of the area with maybe a pergola over part.
