Since we moved into our home in June 2006, we
1) took out the party hot tub that was a potential deathtrap for the kids and fit 16 people comfortably.
2) Removed a tree that hid the lovefest that occurred with the hot tub.
3) Removed the deck that was falling apart
4) Gave thanks for freecycle.org because people took the hot tub and the redwood planks from the deck!
5) Had the hole from the hot tub filled in and had a flagstone patio put in.
6) Moved 3 yuccas (thanks, Mom!)
7) Removed stumps (thanks, Lee!)
8) Lee threw out his back from removing the stumps...
9) Went to a rock quarry and picked up 1/4 ton of cut stone to border the patio. The rock quarry was so cool! We drove onto the scale, then loaded up our stone, and then drove onto the scale again.
10) Put in said rocks and was exhausted. Lee is hoping his back is okay... Lee still has one more stump to take out, and we have to move the rosemary, but that involves removing two more stumps!
11) still need to change out the sprinkler to be one of those pop-up kind...
Enjoy!
the before (the love tub...)
the before ... the deck...
taking the deck out... notice the 3 yuccas...
Before the stones were put in (this is June 2007). The huge pit from the love tub is filled up with water.
after the stones
those stones/bricks were heavy! Notice the rosemary (still needs to be moved) and can you see the sprinkler, need to put in one of those pop-up kind...
what it looks like now
complete with kid toys...
