From the road the grass looks full!

The grass is slowly growing!

We planted grass seed about 1-2 weeks ago (for the second time!) and it's finally starting to slowly sprout.  Hoping the whole yard fills in.

Disaster Yard needs TLC

Pj and I are trying to make the yard look a little better. These first two photos show us trying to even out the huge lumps in the yard (from when we painted the house and drove on the lawn with the big boom lift) with dirt. We ended up having to plant two batches of grass seed because the first one never sprouted. The last three photos are of the junky backyard. There were a lot of pavers on the property so we put them to use and made a little patio.

Photos from Winter

Now that Spring is here, I should probably post photos from Winter !

Stair progress and new concrete for the front porch

So this week the rebar and footings were put in place so that the front porch could have new concrete poured over the old crumbly one.......here are some pics:

Also, here's a picture of the progress with the Butler's stairs off of the kitchen:

The fence fell down, now the fence shall stand tall!

So, when we bought this house, the poor cedar fence had fallen over.  Plopped right on it's side.  Joint Problems (I can relate! Sad thing is, I think I can relate more to this dilapidated fence than I can to most people lately!) So, it's time to resurrect the poor thing.  Here are some "in-progress" pics....

Had to bust out the power tools to saw down some weed trees first!

View from the side-yard looking towards the street.

This is the side door off of the kitchen.  Hmmmm, no steps? no worries, there will be some there soon. 

This is PJ texting while digging fence post holes.  Hmmmmm.  

PJ loves when I ask him to pose for pictures!

Tah Dah! Fence is up.  Now Shadow and Dakota will have a fenced in yard! The yard kind of slopes to the right and it just MAKES it look like it's crooked, it isn't really crooked, okay?!  I think I shall stain the fence a dark brown color.  I think it shall be beautiful!  Good job PJ Gravis! you're my hero!
