5-18-14 After basically taking the winter off from any major house projects, we started in on a special project this Spring that we've been looking forward to for years. We're finally putting in a lawn! Today, Jeff went around the entire front yard, side yard, and back yard, spraying RoundUp in preparation for discing the ground and removing the weeds. no additional Landscaping pics for today |

5-23-14 Although the weeds look as healthy as ever in this picture, a week after Jeff sprayed, they're actually quite brittle now. We'll be discing up the ground and raking off the dead weeds soon in preparation for planting the grass seed. no additional Landscaping pics for today |

6-1-14 We used our "new" skidsteer to bring up some smaller loads of topsoil near the house. |

6-2-14 With our entire yard seeded, we need to do what we can to keep it watered. With only street water pressure, we can't run more than two sprinklers at a time. It's been a dry spring overall, so it looks like our grass will be coming in slowly. no additional Landscaping pics for today |
