Before & After

Well, it won’t be on the cover of Better Homes & Gardens, but I’d say I’ve made a hell of an improvement over the last five weeks.

The Yard, Before

This is what four trips to the landfill and two truck loads of mulch will get you.

The Yard, After

There’s still a long way to go, but with results like this I don’t have a problem putting in the work. The next chance I get I’ll true up the mailbox. It looks pretty sad right now.

Meanwhile, Ginny is painting the downstairs bathroom a very, very vivid blue. After living in white apartments for the last ten years, I want color, dammit.

Tonight we’ll be enjoying Beer Can Chicken with roasted potatoes for dinner. I may be a slave driver, but I feed my slaves well.

  1. Comments are still slightly borked for the time being. I can now get all the comment text, but any paragraph formatting is lost. Please comment as normal, and I'll keep working to get things straightened out.
  1. oooo...it looks great!! The front yard looks clean and spacious. I've been following this adventure of yours and I'm glad it's come to such a great "end" (really, a beginning).
  2. The next big project out front is to get a tree guy to come in and take a couple of the 40ft pines down and prune the others. I love the trees, but no fewer than two have me worried for when we get another major storm.
