Before

Things are moving slower than we had wanted them to so I only have the before shots. What am I talking about? Our yard makeover! We have finally decided to put sod in the backyard and to make a flower bed in the front. So we took a Saturday and tilled the back and pulled up sod in the front.

What's the hold up. Weather! Sorta! We have had to find the best price first, then figure out the best way to do it. So we are laying the sod ourselves. If the weather holds out for us the guys will be here tomorrow to rake the back and place stacks of sod all over the backyard so we can lay it. As most of you know, money always plays a role in these things too. But we really found a great deal and the family that runs the company has been great to us. As far as the front yard goes...I have the bed ready I just have to decide exactly what I want and where I want to place it. So, I am heading to some nurseries and such this week.

But since the after pictures could be a while I will go ahead with the before ones. Here they are!



The yard after 6hours of tilling...poor Danny!





The other half of the backyard



Before I had completely finished pulling the sod.



How it will look when you walk up, dirty now!

Hopefully it won't be much longer before I can show everyone the finished product! I can't wait!

I know you will be so happy to finally have the mud gone, for the most part, from the backyard.
Can't wait to see the finished product.
