I am not sure the last time I swept the chimney so I did it this morning while watching some football. Pretty glad I did since there was quite a bit of build up. I didn't get a chance to take a picture while it was piled in the fireplace, but here is a (reused) gallon ziplock that I fill up.
The carpet and the sliding on the pontoon was looking pretty tired, so we decided to freshen it up. We had to take off the rails and edge trim, put on the new carpet then put the rails back on. You can see the old white and red fence (we called her the speckled queen).
We put new vinyl on the pedestal as well. I have been working on the new blue fence over the summer, the girls aren't thrilled with the results, but I think it looks pretty good. I was trying to use the old holes in the rails, so there are a couple wavy spots.
I was able to complete the simple fences over the summer, but the fence that curves up I need something to cut it with easier.
