I feel like we have been working on our yard all summer.
And we have!
I'm SO sick of dirt EVERYWHERE!
In our ears,
in our nose,
on our clothes,
all over in our house,
and yes, even in our underwear!
It reminds me of baling hay growing up and
finding dirt in any, every crevice! haha
Here's some more dirt that has to go on top of our sandy yard
before the sod can be laid down.
A little bobcat work to move & level out the dirt.
The boys sure loved the dirt.
I think I changed their clothes 2-3 times each day
& every time they came in we had to scrub our feet, hands & face!
Ohh I'm so glad that's over with.
Luke & I looked at our yard when the dirt was spread out
& thought Oh Crap, this is going to be a lot of sod.
And it was!
Here comes the sod!
The best day of summer by far!
The 'after' pictures of our finished product.
p.s. I even stained our swingset! She looks like new!
This pictures also shows the finished retaining wall
& part of our patio.
Look at all that pretty grass!
A view from below.
Now we just need a sunroom so we can get rid of that dingy deck!
That might be a few years away though.
This is a messy picture, but with all the watering that has been taking place
everything needs to take cover!
We LOVE our patio outside our walkout basement.
Our next project...
More pavers & sod for another sitting/deck area!
Since the weather has been so nice an cool this week
it was time to finish the garage.
A day ago I loaded up the boys and we headed to Home Depot.
(little to dad's knowledge!)
I was on a mission to get insulation for the garage
& get that done too!
The boys decided to set up shop to watch dad work!
We got the insulation done in a couple hours
& it was right onto sheetrocking!
I think we're going to kill our little bat friend by closing him up there!
I hope he flies down & scares the crap out of Luke.
I can't wait!
Hopefully by Saturday night we'll have a finished garage
& we'll be nice & warm this winter!
