We Rock!







Spent most of the afternoon and into the evening shoveling rocks with my mom.  I think we did a pretty awesome job.  In between all of this we... dug weeds around my raspberry bushes, shoveled soil around the raspberry bushes and into my three raised gardens, stapled landscape fabric down around the raised gardens, removed the grates from my air conditioner, removed the rust from them and spray painted them black, planted hostess and some other perennials in my front gardens, helped my dad as he needed with adding flower boxes to the deck and wiring up three plugs around the deck, visited Home Depot twice to get wood and spray paint, barbecued dinner, got a wicked sun burn and walked to McDonalds at the end of the night for a much deserved treat.  I am exhausted but am so thankful it did not rain today.  Hopefully we are as lucky tomorrow and I can continue work in my yard.  I can't wait to have it finished and be able to enjoy my wonderful backyard!

Deck Building 2012 Update

It seems like I have been working towards building my deck and landscaping my backyard FOREVER already and I still have tonnes to do.  I am so lucky I have such an amazing family to help me out with this however.  My dad, mom and sister-in-law have come and helped me do work in my yard.  I am really enjoying learning from my dad as we do this and working with him.  It has been a great bonding experience.  Here are some pictures of the journey so far.  Hopefully this weekend it won't rain and we can get a lot more finished up.
