The Part of the Yard That's Not the Grass (Day 3524 - 7/19/19)

They prepared chicken thighs seasoned with Tony Chachere's Famous Creole Cuisine Marinade.

Stephen talks about how when they first moved in there was glass everywhere in the house and recently they found a piece of glass embedded in the wall. They are not sure what the glass came from, but they previously found other pieces of glass in the kitchen which looked like they came from glass cups. Stephen assumes that the previous tenants may have thrown a glass cup and one of the pieces broke and was embedded in the wall.

Stephen says that he wanted to show the flower beds on the vlog yesterday, but the weather was too bad to go outside. He talks about how the outside of the house also had issues like the inside of the house. The outside had issues with bugs and the the part of the yard that's not the grass (flower beds) didn't look good. Stephen says that the rental company wasn't going to do anything about it. He said the lawn was fine though because a service to cut the grass was included when they rented the house. They ended up asking the guy who cuts their grass if he could replace the mulch in the flower beds. First, they had to get a diverter to attach to their gutters so the water doesn't fall into the flower beds.

Stephen comments that there are still toast men in the yard. He says that guy who cuts their grass never asked about the 8 toast men lawn ornaments. Stephen assumes that since that guy cuts their grass, he has just gotten used to seeing the toast men. He then wonders what their neighbors think of them since they haven't had a chance to talk to a lot of them. They have only talked to their next door neighbors when they asked about the previous tenants after just moving in. Stephen says that they have only said "Hi" to most of them since they didn't seem interested in talking.

Later, they have the marinated chicken thighs for dinner. Stephen and Mallory say that it is spicy. After dinner, they did some work and took a a break to make a cup of tea. Mal is using a cat tea mug with a fish tea infuser that she got from Calvin and Bich. She is infusing a berry tea that is red. Stephen comments that it looks cool, but disturbing because it looks like the fish is bleeding. He then talks about how it feels nice to finish editing multiple vlogs in one day. It makes him feel like he got more work done compared to working on Japan vlogs and The Runaway Guys Colosseum vlogs which take him multiple days to just finish one.
