I have not been posting much lately. I have missed hanging out here. After you hear my story you'll understand.
4 months ago I wanted to rip out an old patio. So it started with "If I'm going to rent a tractor to break it up and haul it out I might as well do the front retaining wall I wanted." But wait folks, thats not all. "If I am going that far I might as well redo the strip by the driveway." But wait there's more! That new 10x10 brick patio would look great with a new 10x10 deck. I get tired of Hemlock needles falling on us when we barbaque so we need to cover the new deck right? Gotta redo the grass since it burns every year because the soil is so bad. Lets not waste that precious rental time so let's redo the strip along the driveway and redo my wifes vegetable garden that was always sloped. Gotta rip out the grass under the swing set and fort and put in gravel because I am tired of the craters. Lets not forget our camping lot we bought last year that needed to be cleared and leveled. Whew!
My wife wanted a tall cedar hedge knocked down from 12ft to 8 ft high but she did not have the heart to ask me to do it with my project workload. She hired a landscaper to do it.
am I the only one the suffers from project induced hystrionic behavior? Time for an intervention! Seriously though, the end result is that all of the above are done except for the grass. It has been to hot to try to get seed started. I am thinking of doing a sod lawn becuase I just want to get the darn project finished. Here are some pics.
