Yard Work...

Well we don't have much of a yard for the kids to play in so that is our Summer project this year!! Putting in a yard on the side of the house.... here is what it looked like before....



After...so far!!

Here are a bunch of pictures of our progress....Lets start from the beginning! More before pictures...

From the road... You can see the side of our house and back deck....

Let the digging begin! A giant tree stump, gone!!


Making Progress...


Lots and lots and lots of dirt!


Making room for a retaining wall...(yes that is our cable line on the ground, no worries it is now fixed)


Wall going in...Tyler and his brother Ian managed to build this on Memorial day...


Along the road/turnaround...


Our little parking spot is now a little round-about!! I am proud to say that was my idea!!




This is the retaining wall Tyler built last summer, and grass he planted, in the distance you can see the new round about and retaining wall going in...




From the road...


We are going to keep the height of the grassy hill and put a fence on top of that all along the house and where the retaining wall is. The new side yard will be enclosed and give us a lot more privacy from the road!!


Our current driveway is to the left of the big tree in the very left side of this picture... this is the added roundabout area... from the road...
