Now Matthew can start on the inside renos... well at least some of them :-P He is really trying to get the bathroom fixed up before the twins arrive because, we are planning to use the paneling on the bathroom walls as shelves in the twins room closet. (so I have a place to store all the office stuff) and once he renovates the bathroom, he can replace the interior doors upstairs that are sitting in Lydia's room... :-P One thing leads to another :-)
Anyway... Here are some pictures of our yard :-)
 |
| My raised garden beds :-) The two in the front are planted - the one on the right the kids split and planted their own seeds :-) I still have to plant the two in the back. |
 |
| Yay! Not so muddy there anymore. And hopefully no more water in the basement :-P |
 |
| This side used to be all rocks... it looked kinda trashy, and couldn't really be used. Now it's all re-sloped and looks much better. Hopefully now that the neighbors yard doesn't pour water onto ours we won't get water in the basement anymore... |
 |
| Beside the sidewalk on both sides used to be gravel/rocks, it was really hard to shovel in the winter cuz we ended up with quite a few rocks on our front lawn every spring, and it always looked messy. The gardens on the left side will eventually have flowers in them or something - we haven't really decided, but those big rocks are going to go. :-P Under the garden Matthew put a drainage pipe so the patio drains properly. |
 |
| Matthew transplanted some lilly's that were being taken over by the iris' in the front garden. |
 |
| This garden is a bit bigger now - there is a drainage pipe under it, and it's re-sloped |
 |
| This garden used to have goutweed (spelling?) in it and some bushes that were dying. Matthew re-sloped and put in a drainage pipe. He is planning on putting some low bushes in there and wood chips around them. |
 |
| The front of the house looks a little bare, but neat and tidy :-) Now I'm waiting for bedding plants to go on sale :-P |
LOOKS SO NEAT! He did a good job! :)
