Before & After - Part 1 - The Yard

The most dramatic changes we made to the house this past weekend were in the yard. Check out some before & after pictures below.

Front - After

Finally, you can see the house from the street...which is nice.


There were trees & bushes growing up the side of the house.



Had to get rid of them.

Behind the garage was a mess. There we could see that there was a fence which created a little pen/kennel area...


Which there was - need to get back in there with a weed whacker and some paint. Previous owners must have treated it a as a garbage dump - some people have no respect for their own property.

While I was on top of the garage I snapped some shots of the entire yard which had just been mowed (thanks to my dad!).

That's all for now!

We'll be updating this album as the improvements go on.

Real Progress

My wife and I got our first home! An all around sweet deal in a great part of a great town. We couldn't be happier.

As with many first homes, it's a fixer-upper. I'll do my best to keep you updated on the progress of the remodel/rehab. Here's a pic and a link to my Flickr album of the house, back before it was touched to begin any updates.

Stay tuned, I'll keep adding pictures / updates as we remodel the house.
