In order for the loan to go through they have to send an appraiser to come out and take pictures of the house. When I heard this my heart leapt from my chest into my throat and tried to claw its way out.

“We’ll take a picture of your front yard, then one of your house from the back yard.”

You could have told me they were going to go through my dresser and take pictures of my granny panties, stand me in front of my peers and give me a oral exam on basic math skills and interview all my ex-boyfriends so they could make a web page detailing how I had ruined their life… AND I WOULD HAVE BEEN LESS FREAKED OUT.

For those long time readers of R & O you will remember this little project I started Waaa-hhhhaaay back called “Project Gett’r Done”. This little project was much like ‘Greenthumb’ in the sense that I would go out in the jungle of my backyard and clean it up and document it with pictures and share with you all my progress.

*crickets*

Yeah, well “Project Gett’r Done” ended up being “Project Really’Dumb” because there was NO way I was going to be able to do this on my own. There was too much to do and REALLY big spiders out there.

This weekend, Shaun & Tyler went out and battled the spiders, weeds, splinters, rocks & baby mice to get the back yard ready for inspection.

I can finally breath now. It’s far from being finished, but so much closer than it was before. I even planted some flowers. They’ll die in a week, but I did my part in making it pretty.

BRING ON THE APPRAISER AND HAND OVER MY CHECK!!
