saturday's hard work

Here are some before and after pictures to show you how much we did yesterday (saturday).


Here is the back of the house before we ever did anything. See green stuff in "awning", funky table, and latticework.


And after! Lattice came down, funky table came off, and yesterday David and I took down the green "awning" that is on the back of the house. Looks good, huh? Oh, we also installed a rain barrel so we can be more eco-conscious in watering our plants.

Before Picture: Here is the area looking from the side deck into the backyard. Note wooden "bridge deck", also the peninsula of dirt right in front of it held in with the bricks.

Here, the wooden deck has been taken off, and in the process of taking down the green awning some of the bricks fell over (they were pretty precarious to begin with). Peninsula still fairly intact. Looks like quite a mess.

This is what it looked like sunday morning (can't work outside today for the rain). Much of the mess and dirt have been cleaned up, and can you tell that the peninsula is almost gone? David did a lot of shoveling, and I did alot of wheelbarrow dumping. We worked hard!

There is definitely more to show....I'll post more as Blogger allows me to download photos.
