The fence guys are booked for May sometime. The deck is already done, need to bring in some top soil, put in underground sprinklers, lay sod and some kind of patio beside the deck and sidewalk to the front of the house. That pretty much sums it up!!

Forget sod, astro turf is the way to. Green all year and never needs mowing or watering

crushed rock with a good tough barrier between it and the dirt. then you can get different colors and do designs... like a Ford oval...

Thanks for the offer, I may take you up on it. I still would like your help with framing the basement this fall if your up for it?

Should look good when done, I actually miss cutting grass, I probably will change my mined when I have to every week!

To each their own for sure, but I hate the condo/apartment type of living! I also grew up on a farm, and I like the work that goes with it.

I could not live without some sort of garage and a yard to go chill out in. Ive done it before when I was younger and hated it!
