Ta Da!

Mother's Day weekend we finished up the deck project!

Once we get the patio set I will take better pictures.
It is big and beautiful! We LOVE it!

Easter Weekend

One of our last Weekend projects before the Summer starts...A deck. Before, we had a landing with stairs to the yard. We used the "New Home Rebate" to invest back into the house. By...building a deck. Once we pulled the permit with the city, we ordered the wood and got busy. All we have left to do it the railings and some little odds and ends!

Over 300 sq ft deck in one weekend.

My deck is GONE!

I came home from work & my deck was gone!
Hubby, Chelsie's boyfriend and dad had already started to put the new deck up.
Boy did I notice that I will have a lot of painting to do when this is all over with. lol
Basically the last "deck" was just stairs leading to the patio. The New deck will be 16 x 20. Yippee!
Dinner on the deck soon! My house has become my haven. I love it dearly,
And my boys that do all the projects.

Door Project

8am on Sunday they started to pour the concrete... By 10:30 we had the patio and step.

The rest of the afternoon they installed the retaining wall for the flower bed. It went from a little suggestion to a big flower bed.

Tamara gave us two 25 lb rain barrels that will be the perfect way to water the flowers and the garden beds.

The concrete is drying and next is the trim work and painting on the back of the house.

The next project is the new deck.

Stay Tuned!

Holes

This project started as a hole. It was referred to, as a "HOLE". Like the movie "holes" by Disney.

The Mission was to turn that window into a door that walked out into the back yard...3 weekends later this is what we have.

Ready to cut into the foundation & take out the window. Mind you, it is 35 degrees outside and flurries just started.

The closet will be brought in later to add a refrigerator. Call it a mini Kitchen.

6 hours later, a concrete saw, a jack hammer and a layer of concrete dust all over the house! By the way, plastic does not work to confine the dust.

6 hours later the flurries turned into snow and the job rested...

Tune in next weekend to see the progression.
