Home Improvements

For a year now, we had a stick built step (the bottom step was broken), we had a not so lovely dirt front yard and we had the dog pen wrapped around our house which was not so great on the smell and looks. So a couple weeks ago, we ripped out the dog pen, and started building and digging for the forms for our concrete steps. We got some beautiful steps and sidewalk. We got some plastic sheeting for our flower garden. Then we put gravel on that and lined it with nice big rocks. We put up a chain linked fence around the yard to keep critters out and children in. And today we planted our zoysia grass plugs....2000 of them! Katie helped us and it took all morning and a good chunk of the afternoon. But it looks lovely....well lovelyer ha ha. It was an awesome project and one we can keep improving. It has been a long and busy two weeks, but we can pat ourselves on the back. Our children get a yard and our lawn will hopefully survive.
