backyard project

Our backyard project is mostly done, and it has only taken a year so far.

Our backyard before...

(notice the bamboo taking over the garden box, next to the teetering garage)



the old deck, complete with hot tub and no access from the house

after we removed the deck, and put in a door

The hot tub was the object which caused us much delay. This was maybe one of the most exciting days of the project; just look at Mat's face.

Yipee, it's gone!

Our project will be complete next summer when we finish landscaping the back corner of the yard, and replace the fence.
