A work in progress

We knew when we moved in that the yards needed some help. The house had been vacant for quite awhile and I don't think the previous owners really did much either. The grass and tree out front were all dead and the bushes were ugly and overgrown. Anyway it's been a few weeks in the making just getting it to this point, but we're finally ready to plant grass and next week hopefully some shrubs.

After that it's on to the back "yard". I say that because it's not really a yard at all. The previous owners had the entire thing covered in concrete. It's going to be a big project, but hopefully we'll finish it up by next spring. Cut the concrete, break up the concrete, haul out the concrete, install sprinklers, a planter, plant grass, and buy swing set. Man I'm even tired just thinking about it....and I probably won't even do much of the work. Poor Josh.

So far we've gone from this:


To this:


Hopefully I'll be posting some nice green grassy pictures in a few weeks.
