The Wall is Done!

Yippeee....Brian did a great job and it looks so nice. The rotten boards and posts are gone and replaced with metal piping and new pressure treated boards. We planted 2 new heavenly bamboos and add weed cloth and mulch. Love it!

Backyard Projects

We have started tackling the backyard. After concentrating on the inside and getting big things like new windows, air conditioning, baseboard, and interior doors, the time has come to start focusing on the outside. It's a huge project, but we have broken it down into 4 parts. We have started part 1 of our 4 part project:
1: Replace retaining Wall and landscape planter area in Backyard
2. Grass in the backyard
3. Front yard
4. Hill in the backyard

So far, Brian has:


Removed the posts



Removed the planks

the posts were rotten and broken off



Chipping out the wood and dirt to make room for new pipe posts
