Yard Update

Well, when we bought this house the yards needed a lot of work. Slowly, over the last year and a half, we have been transforming the outside. The backyard was once full of weeds and dirt.


Through a lot of hard work and with help from others, we have managed to get grass and sprinklers in our backyard. The final big and major project for the yard was a concrete patio. With the help of an awesome neighbor down the street and a group of guys he knows, in one weekend, we were able to get a patio!


Here's a picture of the guys getting the concrete poured

Looks like quite the process! We are so thankful for their help and all their hard work.

Here is a picture of the concrete all poured and drying.

Isn't it great? We've been wanting this for a long time and it is so nice to have it checked off the house projects list!

All that is left now for the yards are smaller easier projects. We need to finish the space that surrounds the patio and plant some shrubs along the house but after that, the yard projects will be finished!

While the concrete was still wet, we put our hand prints in it and Halo's paw print too. The smudges you see are compliments of Halo when he decided to run across it before it had dried completely.

We now have a patio swing and our grill out back. All we have left to get is a patio covering of some type and a table set. Maybe a fire pit too for those cold winter nights. :)
