Speaking of Backyards

Everyone knows that Erin and I (Yes Brad is posting again) are big fans of photography and our backyard has become a great spot to capture nature at its finest. Moving from a condo with no yard to this has been excited and its almost like a jungle in our backyard. Enjoy these photos all taken on our property.




Our Big Backyard Project

Well Brad has finally gotten back into the blogging world, and I'm here to post about a new project we are just now wrapping up. Ever since we moved in we have always talked about getting a screen porch/deck extension in our backyard. Given that Construction is my bag I dove right in to collecting multiple estimates reviewing all the HOA requirements and finally selecting a qualified contractor to do the work. Here are some progress photographs that were taken during the 4 days that it took them to virtually complete the entire job. Once we have a couple of trees removed, our back yard aerated and seeded, the deck stained, our new grille built and connected to our new gas line, and furniture installed we will be ready to have a big gathering in a beautiful new backyard. Its absolutely amazing how fast these guys did the work as well as how much work is left to be done.
