House Project Completed - FINALLY!

Things that you can count on to ALWAYS BE TRUE: Jesus, The Bible, Taxes, "People will be People", and house projects of any size always take longer than you think! This last one surely did but we are so thankful we did it and are thankful for how it turned out. As you see, we didn't really have a functional back yard. We decided every kid needs a back yard to play in and Claire is no exception! Before this our back yard sloped significantly and was very bumpy with much natural beauty. All we ever did to it was an occasional dose of Round-Up! So we added a retaining wall that is 6.5 feet tall to be level with the house, 25 truck loads of dirt, pure top soil with St. Augustine sod. We lack a little fencing at the foot of the driveway but it will happen before long. The grass was a good choice for this area and took very well thanks to the expertise of landscaper, George Ladd. It's already been mowed 4 times and Claire has already christened it with several laps of kicking her ball. So come one and come all to play in our new back yard!
