Yesterday I tackled the patio... but not the whole thing, just the area where we hang out. It's a big patio - almost the length of our house. There's no way I can do the whole thing at once. But a section at a time - yeah I can do that.

Rod got a bit miffed when I listed off things I need him to do but eventually - and without any further prodding - got with the program. I think he must have felt guilty - because he did about 10 other honey-do's I hadn't asked for - well, not this week anyway. LOL.

I have a 'Flip It' dry/wet vac that made all the difference for mopping the tiles. As it vacs up the water into a filter, I wasn't just smooshing wet dirt/mud everywhere.
