100 days, 100 projects

Today is April 13, 2021. I went back to work on October 17, 2020, and since that time, my house has begun to fall apart. I need to get back on the wagon and get some work done around the house before it completely collapses. So today I begin my 100 days of 100 projects, which will take me until July 22, 2021. We'll see how far I get. It's good to have goals.

What was left was a smooth patch of barren soil. I'm sure there are undesirables lurking beneath the surface, so I'll let it lie for a few days before I do anything else with it. 51.  ✅  Deal with the shred pile This took days. I've been accumulating junk mail, old bills, and literally anything with my name, a family member's name, or our address on it for several months resulting in a two-foot tall stack of papers. It couldn't be done all at once, because (A) the shredder kept overheating, and (B) I kept running out of places to store the shreds.

And now there's a bike up ...
