...Come in 2 versions!
Jason's
Annie's.
Same plans. One measured, scaled. One rough and labeled.
This summer one of our major goals is our yard, more specifically our back yard. It is missing SO MUCH. Last year we put in the deck and awning which partially already needs to be replaced. The deck is fine, the awning, is not. It is leaking from about every point it is capable of. It isn't sloped enough - says Foreman Oakes {who designed the whole thing BTW}. The Foreman (my Dad) and my husband have a lot of work to do!
Goals in the front yard:
- Remove both Japanese Maples. Replant one, trash the other
- Cement in the "triangles" in the driveway
- Weed, protect, plant in the bay in front of the house
- Get all weeds out of yard
Goals in the back yard:
- Replace awning
- Get shed
- Somehow cover up the monstrosity that is the neighbor's shed {ideas include lattice wall, tall trees}
- Rock around the deck {stepping stones}
- Purposeful beds on East side and North side of house. Currently a disaster.
- Fire pit circle of stone {phew, we shall see}
I think those are the main things we want. It is so amazing to be able to afford this. That is why our yard currently is as it is, money. We did not have money last year to spend on "luxuries" such as yard work. Another major player in the lack of yard work was my back. I've tweaked it a few times since last June but nothing major...just have to be careful - and buy Aleve at Costco :)
And for your viewing pleasure...
Goal 1 for the front yard is half done...
