oh, the joy’s of owning a home

This is how our spring projects began….

april 2010 001

A fence that fell over on our boat, (for the second time) thankfully there was no damage.

Next up a sprinkler valve broke, good times with water in the basement and waiting for someone/anyone to come fix it!!

After getting the concrete cut to cement the posts in, to fix the fence, we discover there is another driveway under the existing one. Now we need is a jack hammer.

In all of the commotion we decided to cut down two GIANT pine trees, which I will never regret, so that we don’t have to rake pine needles EVER again!!  But why stop there, this was the year we had planned on filling in the beds we cut out two years ago, hence all of the tree buckets and now we need to move some sprinkler heads around. The fun never stops around here :)

So here is my advice to all of you longing for that big purchase, make sure your husband is skilled in all area’s of minor home improvement/repair projects, surround yourself with as many skilled people as possible and have a small amount of savings put way for the unexpected.

Check back to see our “new” back yard soon!!
