Ice Storm 2008 |
Our front lawn is under there somewhere! |
The perfect yard for a three-year-old boy |
Early attempts at grass planting |
The A team |
First thing is to get rid of the tree stumps |
Got rid of the old crumbling walkway |
Planting a bush from the backyard in the front |
The day the dirt was delivered |
Goodbye crab grass! |
New walkway - from Grandma & Tutu's home to ours |
The front yard is complete! |
No need for the fence in the back |
It came apart in so many pieces! |
An improvement but we are not finished |
New Shed |
New fence |
Digging up the back |
Taking down the old deck |
Building a new deck |
Ice Storm #2 |
New New shed |
New Sandbox & Garden area |

The yard project is now complete. The one area I lacked in photo journaling is the week we got a new driveway I was a little preoccupied with something else that week. Or should I say someone:
I don't know much about this yard project except that I like my swing! |
To think that the whole thing started with a vague statement, “Mike and I are bored so we’re coming up next weekend
to work on your yard,” from Papa.
Best blog ever!
