Yard Projects

We've been busy the past few weeks! After a little over 2 months of home-ownership, we have finally had time ( and nice weather) to conquor the outdoors. When we moved in, the yard was overgrown and hadn't been taken care of for quite some time. After a few weeks of labor, we are finally seeing some good results! It's still a work in progress, but we got a good head start before next Spring.

We had a fence installed for Bailey. She loves her freedom from the leash and we enjoy not having to walk her in the rain!



Our first project was staining the deck. As most projects do, this one took a lot longer than expected. Amy also painted the tiki bar that the previous owners had left.
