Life

Saying I am not much of a landscaper is a gross understatement.  When we purchased this house, we knew it needed work…a little sweat equity. Our first year owning the property we focused exclusively on the interior (gutted and remodeled the main bathroom and kitchen, tore out unnecessary walls, amongst other odds and ends).  This year, our second in the house, we’ve been working on the exterior. So far, we’ve dug up the front yard, flattened out areas where tree roots caused irregularities, relaid the french drain on the right side of the property, rebuilt the front wall, dug out five large holes for newly planted Dwarf English Boxwoods, spread mulch, re-seeded the lawn, and topped it all off with some new flowers in front of the window.  Much of the work can be seen in the photos below.  I’m still not much of a landscaper, but I think we’ve done a “not half bad” job on this one.  The backyard’s going to be another story….ugh!
