They have messed up our yard so much that my husband told them they are now responsible for mowing it so that we don't mess up our mower. In the process, they've messed up our skirting something horrible - holes all over the place, a piece of the trim is missing from when they dug the hole to replace the shelter. It's just a mess and it's disheartening because we had just had the skirting replaced a year or two before this all happened in the last year. <br /><br />But, what I was going to tell you also - you might have John look into concrete skirting. Here in Oklahoma, I've seen several mobile homes with "concrete" skirting and actually have gotten an estimate. It's not as much as you'd expect and is a really good investment because it is durable. They have a system to put the airflow sections in somehow.<br /><br />So, perhaps I'll get some pots and flowers for the porch this weekend! I'm also planning to sew myself some new glider cushions now that I have a sewing machine my boss gave me. Ask and it shall be given!

It's such fun to see all your pretty flowers and how you arrange them in containers. You're inspiring me to finally add some color to my bare front lawn flower bed.
