(Hopefully) Getting Dirty...

Today is suppose to be the last rainy day until sometime next week (or maybe next fall) , so Sam & I have planned a project weekend for both our front and back yards.

Sam started working on the front yard last Friday by taking out the grass that was practically running into our street. This weekend will bring the removal of the grass that is making it's way onto our driveway. Essentially, the plan is to make an oval lawn, surrounded by bark chips & plants. Yes, pictures to come once completed.

Our second project will require some paint brushes, rollers, and stain. Since we bought our house last year, our poor deck has felt all the weather elements (sun, rain, snow, more rain) because we didn't stain and protect it when it was built. With a sunny weekend ahead, our plan is to take care of our deck this weekend, so we can enjoy it all summer long! Again, pictures to come.

We may be optimistic, but our hopes are to finish both projects (and plant a few things in between) on Saturday, so we can rest & enjoy part of our weekend on Sunday. Cross your fingers all goes as planned...

  1. Good luck! Our deck project was totally painful, but so worth it. Just think of all the fun you'll have out there when it is done!
