Home Improvement Projects!!!!

This weekend Gareth decided to tackle yard projects!! As most of you all know, our side yard and backyard are infested with weeds, and deadly NightShade (which we didn't even know was in Utah). So, Gareth being adventurous...He decided we would spend all weekend excavating our yard. Here are lovely pictures of all our hard work.

When it rains, this is what our back yard looks like

The NightShade weeds! (Can you tell we have a drainage problem?)

This is a view of our side yard....Not looking so good, eh?

I got a Mound of Dirt!!!!!!!

( supposed to remind you of I got a jar of dirt.... CAPTAIN JACK Pirates)

I was jealous of Karis mound, so we decided to get our own, lol... This was all the dirt from the side of the house!!

This is our side of the house now... No more ugly rose bushes, no more rail road ties... Hopefully in the next month or so, there will be concrete there!!
This is what our planters look like now....In tearing up the side yard, we had to ruin some of our lawn, which we have spent the last 4 years trying to grow :(Gareth's driveway (or the lack there of)... We have it all level, so let's get the concrete now!!!!
