Brownstoner Garden Days 3 and 4
While we were sipping pina coladas and getting a foot massage this weekend, our contractors built wood posts around the original iron ones and pulled up the original bluestone path. Also, we've completely changed our minds about the layout of the garden. We'll have Jeeves draw up another plan for you tomorrow.

This is exciting. It's like HGTV on Brownstoner.

Oh the life of luxury you live. Did your Au Pair take the kids to the Hamptons again this weekend while you were at the spa, or did she take them to Paris in the private jet to shop for diamond studded pacifiers? :P

Is running this website brownstoner's job? It seems like with all the time and effort he puts into it. But I'm curious if you work from home or have some business that runs itself.

Not yet but hopefully sometime soon! Still need a paycheck.

Are you going to try to reuse the old slate or go for a more finished product? I still owe you supplier info.

Did you have a backyard full of concrete? If so did you have someone take it out or did the same contractor doing the work do it? We just need the concrete removed, we'll unfortunately (due to $) have to do the rest ourselves. If you did have someone remove the concrete and you were happy with their price/job can you forward their number to me? Looking forward to seeing the finished project.

The first 10 feet or so of the yard is concrete and we're leaving it for the time being...

Brownstoner, what is your occupation specifically?

He is a full-time circus acrobat. He doesn't like to mention which circus he works for, because his employers might frown upon him updating his blog via blackberry while flying throught the air with the greatest of ease.

We work in a cramped, windowless cubicle within the confines of a multi-national Wall Street firm. It's too depressing for words.

You want to know his occupation, but you can't even both to come up with a username for yourself Anon 3:33? How about you get yourself a backbone before asking something like that.

He is a blogger! Isn't that a full-time occupation?

Let's hope it can be.
