We had a check-in with our contractor and our painter yesterday, in addition to tackling our yard. We can't start doing projects in the house, so we'll start with the yard. We didn't want to be the only house on the block with 5+ inch tall grass.
I did a half lap around the property and the mower bag was already full. We resorted to raking the clippings instead of constantly clogging the mower engine. I relish the fact that my lawn will never again be as hard to mow as it was yesterday.
We also raked up what seemed like years of dead magnolia leaves, and identified 4 types of ivy growing on our house. I found myself midnight googling what plants will grow better since our house faces northwest. Troy also just texted that we need to plant Tall Fescue grass in our shady, completely-mulched backyard, after a morning of research.

Thursday, we will pick carpet and glass samples to be installed next week. We have a friend who's family runs a paint company, and we've brought them in to do our interior. That includes all rooms and hallways, trim and doors.
Move-in day is Tuesday, August 20th.
