We've (by we, I mostly mean Matt) done a couple of home projects...
Project #1...
A garden/trampoline & sandbox area in the back yard. We finished it probably about a month ago, and I forgot I had taken pictures along the way...
Matt tilled up a pretty big area in the corner of our backyard. We had to make a more permanent spot to put the trampoline (because it's a heavy duty one-too heavy to move when we mow), and we wanted a bigger sandbox for the kids. We thought we better add on a garden area too-this is our first year to ever do a garden...
(the beginning of the tilling)
(after lots of tilling and digging, ready for the landscaping bricks)
(almost done-need some bark, sandbox frame, sand, and a few more bricks-(oops) )
(the kids enjoyed the whole project. Portie liked taking dirt away in his dump truck, and they all liked climbing on Papa's trailer)
Ta-Daaaaaa!!
(finished! complete with a new spicket for watering)
Project #2
a new front door.
We've lived in our house for 4 years, and I've hated our front door since the day we looked at the house. It's just a plain ol' white 6 panel (which doesn't even match any of our interior doors). No windows, no pretty handle, no nothin'! I could go on for days about why I hate that door, but I wont :) So we finally got a new one. I picked it out and painted it, Matt did all the hard stuff...
(The kids liked the painting/taping process. They thought they'd tape up parts of the outside of the house so I don't get paint on it.)
(Matt & Coopie worked on installing the hardware)
(J came over to help with the hanging-thanks, J!!)
Ta-Daaaaaa!!!!
I think it turned out pretty nice. It's pretty nice having some light come through that side of the house too.
