Day Three of Front Yard Rehab: We really started wrapping stuff up today...like putting in the deck.














And trimming off the lawn...














And planting a bunch of stuff along the front of the house (don't ask me what all that stuff is called - it's green and you have to water it, that all I know)




















And Barkley managed to get a few zzzzs on the front yard.














All said and done, we moved 16 cubic yards of topsoil, laid 1000 sf of sod, dug out about 500 sf of sod and removed about 30 miles of roots - and that was just in the front yard. Mom also painted inside the kitchen cupboards - twice, and lined all of the shelves. Not to mention the curtains she hung and the deck dad built. They were both terrific and I'm really glad they came to visit. We got a hell of a lot done over the last four days and I'm looking forward to work tomorrow so I can get some rest.
