The closet before and after.
I call it 95% done as it still needs nail-fill, caulk, and paint.
Yesterday I:

- Installed a new overhead light (integrated LED) to replace a dead florescent fixture
- Installed a few new junction box covers
- Did the finish construction on a closet drawer unit and shelving

Went to pay the quarterly taxes & pickup another license sticker for one of the trailers.
Bought a Husqvarna blower to make it easier to clean the porches & flowerbeds.
Still didn't do the last row in the garden... started mulching instead.
Seasoned up & smoked 2 pork steaks for supper tonight. Also smoked chicken thighs for Dieter's snacks. Then made soybean succotash & Mrs. Ranch made twice baked potatoes.
Watered the the stuff remaining in the greenhouse (2X), the garden & the asparagus bed.

In the last two days:
- Worked two full days at my W2 job
- Met with two seller's agents to figure out who to list the house with
- Met with one buyer's agent and lined up another meeting
- Waxed the stained shoe moldings
- Removed a dropped ceiling from the basement
- Removed more junk (possibly useful crap I kept) from the basement
- Ordered new wall sconces for the living room
- Repaired one broken door and replaced a vintage / antique lockset and knob on the door - previous owners kicked doors down
- Added about 5 more lines to my to-do list before listing the house for sale
Finished the last row by planted the final tomatoes & basil, then continued mulching. I hope to plant the soybeans tomorrow & then the main garden will be done (the melons will go in April 15th).

I need to replace my old Troy Built riding lawnmower and have looked at the Husqvarnas. Any opinion about them ?

I talked to the guy at Wicks about a month ago. I was hoping my Troy Built would last longer. I'll probably go back next week and talk to him again.
Did the weekly shopping.
Made 2 buttermilk pies, one for us & one for our neighbor (it's his birthday).
I was all set to plant the soybeans when the 'Sweetheart' Caladium bulbs were delivered, so they had priority per Mrs. Ranch. I planted 5 of them in the pots on the back porch, then fertilized & mulched them. The remainder will be planted in the back flowerbed tomorrow.
Watered the garden, asparagus, crape myrtles, all the porch pots & hanging baskets.

Got 3 of the 4 rows of soybeans planted before being interrupted by the rain. I was hoping to finish after it passed but the cold front blew in a day early (went from the 75 to 57 in minutes)... Needless to say, I'm done for the day.
