It’s construction on the pergola! (Also known as “is there anything my dad can’t do?”)
I also have a “construction foreman” helping out. He has to approve all the work at the end of the day:

Yesterday Was A Great Day
Why? Lowes delivered a new washer and dryer and my dad did a custom installation for them.* Then I did five loads of laundry WITHOUT LEAVING MY HOUSE. 
I used the “Bulky” setting, I used the “Handwash” setting, I used the “Steam Refresh” feature on my dryer, and I felt as if I’d finally arrived in Grown-Up Land.
Not only are they full of features, they are Toby-approved, too:
Yes, yesterday was a great day.
*Dad, I didn’t realize it would be that tricky or that washers were THAT heavy. Thank you!!
