No More Eyesore!

This week, we tackled the garage demolition.   Like last year when we gutted the inside of our house, Dave gathered a group of friends to help.

We lucked out with a nice, sunny day.  A little bit of muscle, two dumpsters and several beers later, the garage was gone!

  

For now, we’re left with the concrete pads that were beneath the garage. It certainly opens up the space and allows us to get a good feel for how we want to layout our yard.  Thanks to Jim, Rob, Dave, Chris, Guy, Becca and Ron for all your help!

Here’s the transformation:

 

Next up: breaking up the concrete and installing the fence posts.

Backyard

The backyard is pretty deep (and there are even some spring flowers appearing!) The garage, which takes up part of the yard, definitely needs some work! There's no deck yet, but we plan to make the large dining room window into a sliding door walk-out to the backyard.
