BEFORES AND AFTERS

I promised you all pictures of the before and after projects I have been working on. We and in We I mean Kevin and my dad built a deck a few years ago, we have not done anything in our yard since. With school and everything I just havent found the time; but now we have started here is the before picture of the deck . While the color is super pretty Kevin likes the look of the older worn wood better. I dont know if it is for lack of motivation though, but this time I went with him to buy the sealer and I got some with a honey color to it. So our deck will once again have color. Also the swing is brand new in this picture but now we need a new one. So I dont know if the before and after pictures are really that great, you can see what we have done and what we have not done :) here is the after.

You can't really see but we made our hot tub patio out of flag stone Kevin laid it all in one weekend I was impressed. Then I dug out the flower beds and planted the plants and placed the flag stone where I wanted it. It is nice to finally have some plants. We also put up a fence!!! Saxon loves it!! Sometimes it makes him mad- and he still runs around the side of the house to go to the front yard and then gets stopped, but he loves being able to go and sit outside and not have to be on a lead. I has been so nice. When I wake up in the mornings I just open the door and they run out and I dont have to think anymore about it. It has been wonderful, plus it keeps the pesky neighbors out. I still need to get no trespassing signs and beware of dog signs, because I am sick of their crap. On a happier note, we bought a shed. It sat in our front room for a good two months but we finally got it put up and by we again I mean Kevin and Cole. It is so nice not to hit the door on the lawn mower all the time. We still havent had the time to get the garage cleared out, but we will get there. Here is the before...

Here are the after. The grass needed some attention, but I am still waiting for the sprinkler system to be set up. I love Kevin but when he doesnt want to do something, he doesnt do it!

Last but defiantly not least cause we have a long way to go... Our gross ugly bought for our crack shack apartment, that worked for what we needed it has now left!!! Yes it is ugly and dusty but when you really dislike something it is hard to clean it, all those shelves, and then five seconds later it is dirty again. It was just a Walmart special that had to find a new home, (it has yet to do so- it is still sitting in out stair way-- yes I am bugged)
