Misc. Home Projects–April 2012

BACK YARD
After owning our new home for a year, we finally made the time to clear out an area for the BBQ.  We removed rock for a 4’ x 8’ area, added sand, leveled it, put down weed barrier, and installed paver stones.  Next week we’ll be getting quotes to run the gas line from inside the kitchen to the new BBQ area.  It will be nice to use the BBQ once again, especially after using the Little Weber all this time.
FRONT YARD
This is the entrance to our house with a big round container that had some plants that are almost dead.  We finally got around to pulling out the dead stuff, hooking up the drip system, adding soil, and planting some new plants.  We also installed a drip system to the vases we bought a few months ago and added some plants.  It will take a while before the plants get big enough to look good, but it sure looks better than it did before.  Slow but sure, we’re getting there.

  1. Are you trying to keep up with us? I just spent the last 7 days working on our yards. Unlike you, I didn't take any 'before' pix.
    It sure looks refreshed and beautiful again. We have a couple of more smaller upgrade projects and we'r done for the most part.

    Your new BBQ area looks like it'll work out just fine. Be sure to invite us to a cook-out... :>)

    Hope to see you guys soon!
